MANILA,Philippines — The Filipino-Chinese Veterans Basketball Association (FCVBA) blew Zaap of Thailand to bits, 76-46, and advanced to the 65-and-above finals of the ASEAN Veterans basketball tournament Friday in Chiang Mai, Thailand.
With almost everybody contributing, the Fil-Chinese seniors settled the outcome of the game early as they zoomed to a commanding 44-20 lead.
Seven FCVBA players scored six points or more with former Crispa player Joel Gomez tallying 10 of his 18 points right in the opening period. They led by as many as 34 points in the third period.
“Everything went on smoothly as we rotated the ball quite well,” said Rain or Shine co-team owner Terry Que, who along with Ironcon Builders owner Jimi Lim contributed 12 points each.
FCVBA, which also got eight points each from ex-MICAA player Zotico Tan and Achit Kaw, faces defending champion Hatyai in the one-game face-off on Saturday.
