Gilas Pilipinas returns to action as it seeks to defend its turf in a pair of home games in the second window of the FIBA Asia Cup Qualifiers against visiting New Zealand and Hong Kong
MANILA, Philippines – Gilas Pilipinas is back.
The Nationals return to action as they seek to defend their turf in a pair of home games in the second window of the FIBA Asia Cup Qualifiers against visiting New Zealand and Hong Kong.
National team coach Tim Cone counts on fans to pack the Mall of Asia Arena and give the team a morale boost as the Philippines looks to stay unbeaten after a 2-0 sweep of the first window.
“We really need the fans to be there,” said Cone. “You just don’t realize the effect it has when we have a full stadium and everybody’s geared up and ready to cheer. It just really elevates the players.”
Here are ways to watch the games:

The second window will be the last time in a long while that fans can watch the national team in an official game live as the squad goes on the road in the third window.
After that, the Philippines will take part in the Southeast Asian Games in Thailand and the Asia Cup in Saudi Arabia next year.
