Game Preview: Gilas Pilipinas vs. Thailand

The Gilas Pilipinas Women will look to bounce back from a heartbreaking loss against Japan as they take on Thailand in the 2024 William Jones Cup Women’s Basketball Tournament today. This matchup comes after a thrilling yet narrow defeat that dropped their record to 1-2.

The Philippines initially overcame a tough opening loss against Chinese Taipei B by securing a convincing victory over Malaysia. However, their momentum was halted by Japan’s strong showing on Monday. Despite showcasing admirable resilience with a late comeback attempt, Gilas ultimately fell short, 85-83.

Meanwhile, Thailand enters this game with a 2-1 record. They started the tournament strong with wins against Malaysia in Day 1 and Chinese Taipei – B in Day 3, but fell short against Chinese Taipei – A in Day 2. Both teams will be eager to climb the standings and solidify their position in the competition.

For Gilas, the focus will likely be on maintaining composure and building on the positive aspects displayed against Japan. Players like Afril Bernardino, who led the scoring with a double-double (21 points, 11 rebounds), and Jack Animam (20 points, 11 rebounds) will be instrumental in providing leadership and experience. The young guns, including Naomi Panganiban, will also be crucial in contributing energy and scoring.

Thailand will pose a unique challenge. Gilas will need to tighten their defense to limit their opponent’s shooting. Additionally, creating a balanced offensive attack and minimizing turnovers will be key for the Philippines to secure their second win in the tournament.

Tip-off is scheduled for today, July 9th, with both sides aiming to showcase their grit and basketball prowess. Can Gilas overcome their recent defeat and climb back into contention? Or will Thailand emerge victorious and solidify their position in the standings?
