Gilas Pilipinas won the semi-final game against South Korea, ____. The win made them qualify for the finals of the 27th FIBA Asia Championship to happen on Sunday, August 11, at the SM Mall of Asia Arena.
In the finals, the Philippine national basketball team will face Iran, which won earlier against Chinese Taipei.
It was a very tight game between Philippines and South Korea. The first quarter ended with South Korea in the lead, 15-19. They were still leading during the half-time, 36-39, but the Philippines took it away in the third quarter by 9 points, 65-56.
Marc Pingris was the best player of the game with 16 points. His celebrity wife, Danica Sotto, was present in the audience, as well as her dad, Vic Sotto, with girlfriend Pauleen Luna.
It was surely a happy moment for the team as well as Pinoy fans that packed MoA Arena. The venue was filled with emotions, which will sure be doubled (if not tripled) during the finals tomorrow.
