This time around, the kamikaze fighters won the day.With barely 50 seconds left in the clock and Japan unable to shake the resilient RP youth, the speedy Japanese youngsters resorted to swooping, sweeping drives reminiscent of the deadly kamikaze pilots of yore to draw foul after foul and can free throw after free throw to notch an 86-78 win over the Filipinos.
Fil-Canadians Norberto Torres scored 24points while Matthew Wright score 17points to pace the Pinoys.
Ths loss eliminated the RP Youth Team at the quarterfinal stage of the FIBA Under 19 tournament while catapulting the Japanese to a winner-take-all match with Korea.
