Team Philippines is scheduled for a head-to-head game against team France at 3:10 A.M. (Philippine Time) on June 19, 2017 in Nantes, France.
Team Philippines took care of its initial assignment in the ongoing FIBA 3X3 World Cup 2017. This time around, they’ll be tested against a team that owns the basketball ground.
Despite the obvious height advantage of team Romania, the #labanpilipinas and #puso mentality was evident on the players that wears color blue jersey.
In the first eight minutes of the game, the score was close until Keifer Ravena converted a basket “na may kasama pang foul” (and-one play). He also converted his free throw which gives team Pilipinas a comfortable 2 points lead.
Then Kobe Paras does the finishing touches as he converted a long two-pointer and a pair of free throws that sealed the game to 21-15.
Their win will surely give them a boost in their next game. Sweeping all of their scheduled games today will give them high chances on qualifying to the next round.
