The Gilas Nationals vented their rage and fury over the disqualification of Fil-Ams Chris Lutz and Marcio Lassiter on a hapless UAE side, winning 92-52.The Filipinos were actually off to a bad start, looking sluggish and out of sync as UAE led 9-2. But the timely substitution of Kelly Williams for Ranidel de Ocampo and Asi Taulava for Marcus Douthit seemed to fuel the Filipino rage as the dup immediately made their presence felt on both sides of the court.
Power forward turned small forward Marnel Baracael led the way for the Nationals, scoring 15 points, with big men Asi Taulava and Marcus Douthit scoring 13 points each.
The Nationals started pulling away at the latter half of the first quarter, leading by 17-12 at the end of it. They continued piling on the points at each quarter after that, serving notice to the entire tournament that they were not going to lie down and just take it.
