Smart Gilas surged back from 15 points down through Marcus Douthit’s sustained firepower then leaned on clutch shooting down the stretch to edge Syria’s Al-Jala’a, 85-80, and assure the country of its best finish in 15 years in the FIBA Champions Cup before flag-waving Friday crowd at the Philsports Arena.

The Nationals continued to play with poise and heart so evident in their last two games, turning back the Syrians’ last-ditch rally with pressure-laden offensives and incisive passing to notch the win and a seat in the semifinal round of the 22nd staging of the tournament.

Douthit fired 12 of 26 points in the last quarter in a one-on-one duel with former Los Angeles Laker Samaki Walker as the Nationals went on to post their best finish in the Champions Cup since 1996 when Hapee Toothpaste claimed the feat.

unfortunately they lost to al mahram of iran 80-77. gilas is relegated to 3rd place game against al rayyan of qatar. championships will be disputed by al riyadi of lebanon vs. al mahram of iran. the games will be played today and hopefully we can salvage 3rd place. that would be the highest achievement of RP in the FIBA-ASIA champions cup.
