PASAY CITY – Filam Sports of the United States lived up to the hype and destroyed Auspinoy of Australia, 78-45, in a mighty display of firepower in the seeding round of the 2019 Chooks To Go SM National Basketball Training Center (NBTC) National Finals at the Mall of Asia Arena Monday. Filam’s romp was punctuated by seven rim-rattling dunks that clearly established their domination.
Jalen Green proved he was a cut above the rest of the field as he scattered 20 points, nine rebounds and three assists in 29 minutes of action. Big boy Kainoa Ballungay muscled his way to 19 points and 12 rebounds.
Defense was also crucial for Filam as they limited Auspinoy to single digit outputs in the first two periods. Aside from wowing the crowd with dunks, Green also showed his range by canning three of the team’s seven triples.
Filam will next see action versus #21 seed University of Perpetual Help System-Jonelta. Meanwhile, Auspinoy will play #20 seed Saint Mary’s College of Tagum City for a spot in the Supreme 16.
