00:33The sharp-shooting trio of Tin Chien-Lin, Chun Xiang-Lu, and Albaquil Gadiaga led the offense by shooting seven-threes that helped the home team to gain a double-digit lead in the first half.

00:45Before halftime, Guilas gained momentum after a Dwight Ramos triple and was able to cut the lead to a single possession, 47-45.

00:54In the third period, the national team struggled yet again while the home team took advantage to gain a double-digit lead, ending the quarter 71-61.

01:03In the final canto, Gene Forward Justin Brownlee took over and started with a 10-0 run, cutting the lead of the home team while also gaining momentum.
