Game Preview: Gilas Pilipinas vs. Spain

The Gilas Pilipinas U17 team is gearing up to bounce back on Sunday after a tough opening loss in the 2024 FIBA U17 World Cup. Standing in their way is another formidable opponent, world No. 2 Spain.

Gilas Pilipinas struggled against the taller and more experienced Lithuanian squad, 107-48, at the Sinan Erdem Dome in Turkey.. The team’s offensive woes were evident, shooting a meager 21.9% from the field compared to Lithuania’s impressive 53.5%. The absence of their top scorer, Kieffer Alas, due to a knee injury, was a significant factor in their offensive struggles. Despite a valiant effort from Cletz Amos, who led the team with 10 points, Gilas Boy was unable to overcome the strong Lithuanian team.

Spain, meanwhile, showcased their dominance in their Group A opener, defeating Puerto Rico 89-63. This dominant performance underscores their status as one of the tournament favorites. Gilas will need to significantly improve their execution on both ends of the court if they hope to compete against the Spaniards.

While defeating Spain seems like a formidable challenge, the Gilas squad has the potential to surprise. They will need to demonstrate improved defensive intensity and offensive efficiency to pull off an upset.
