"We had key players on injured list," said Palma. âWe lost four centers because of injuries while Rasheim Wright is still not in good condition after coming back from an ACL injury." "We will be tougher. Weâre playing here to show something to the Filipino people what we can do," he added. Daghlas finished with 10 points on 4-of-10 shooting. Burly 6-foot-8 frontliner Islam Abbaas finished with a game-high 21 points while lanky 6-foot-7 Zaid Abbas added 17 markers. Jordan, behind the patient offense and tight defense that netted nine steals, posted its biggest lead, 61-45, as Mohammad Hadrab converted a layup off a Ginebra turnover with 2:01 left in the third.
