Ramos-led Gilas Pilipinas fightback vs Poland falls just short
GILAS Pilipinas capped its European tune-up games in preparation for the FIBA Olympic Qualifying Tournament with an 82-80 loss to Poland in Sosnowiec, Poland.
The Nationals conceded the first nine points of the fourth quarter, digging themselves into a hole that they weren’t able to overcome to get out of despite a brave fightback.

Gilas made a late charge by scoring the final eight points of the match but ran short of time as Poland hung on to the win.
The loss spoiled the 30-point effort of Justin Brownlee as Gilas suffered back-to-back defeats after losing to Turkey, 84-73, in Istanbul last Thursday.
