SMART-Gilas defeats USA to win Jones Cup Gold Medal

Against an American team with superior size advantage, it was the smallest man on the Philippine side who stood tallest.

Before that, the 5-foot-8 Tenorio masterminded a Philippine comeback from a 13-point second half deficit. The US squad was still up, 59-46, with a minute left in the third quarter before SMART-Gilas unleashed a 15-0 run capped by a Tenorio runner to give the Philippines its first lead since the first quarter.

It was a nip and tuck affair the rest of the way, with USA grabbing the upper hand on a fastbreak layup by Jermaine Dearman, 75-74, with 36 seconds left.

no, they ARE the Philippine team, the Smart thing is the brand sponsoring the team. The cool thing is that the representatives of the Smart-gilas team aren't the best of the best in the Philippines

Because some of the best of the best are morons and can be compared to Javale McGee or Gerald Green.

Judged by his income McGee will make it to the All Star game soon...
