For a team so young, they certainly have a lot of poise and composure.Despite the pressure exerted by the Air21 Express, the Nationals still walked away with a win, 102-99.
Here's the excerpt from gmanews.tv
Smart Gilas lost grip of an 11-point lead in the final five minutes, and then watched Jay-R Reyes missed a potential game-tying basket at the buzzer to book its third straight win and grab a share of the lead with idle Rain or Shine.
The Nationals were stretched to overtime by the Alaska Aces the last time before prevailing, 91-89.
Marcus Douthit was again a towering presence for the team with his 30-point and 18-rebound production, while Marcio Lassiter added 22 points, seven assists and six rebounds for the FIBA-Asia Olympic qualifying meet-bound national squad.
Dylan Ababou sank two free throws in the final 2.7 seconds for the marginal score, as the Express failed short of sending the game into overtime when Reyes' looping three-pointer at the right corner could only hit the tip of the rim at the buzzer.
