FIBA: Thirdy puts on a show as Gilas outguns Indonesia

MANILA, Philippines – , Sunday at the BritAma Arena in Jakarta.

Ravena, the three-time UAAP Finals MVP from Ateneo, scored 23 points off the bench, repeatedly displaying his athleticism and strength in overwhelming the Indonesian defense. He added 8 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 blocks in 23 minutes of action. Though Indonesia was playing without a naturalized player, Gilas Pilipinas would not pull away until late in the third quarter, when Ravena drew an unsportsmanlike foul off veteran Arki Wisnu with two minutes left.

He made both charities then drilled a three-pointer in the bonus possession, giving the Philippines a 62-51 advantage. It was the momentum shift that Gilas Pilipinas needed. The Philippines scored the first seven points of the fourth frame to take a 21-point lead, 74-53, and cruised to victory from there.
