MANILA, Philippines - Smart Gilas edged Australia’s second national team, 79-73, behind a tenacious inside game Tuesday night in the Nationals’ second outing in a series of tune-up games in Australia.

Greg Slaughter, 22, towered over a tall Aussie side, putting in a team-high 16 points on an impressive seven-of-nine performance.

The University of Visayas standout also had five rebounds, four shot blocks and a steal to help power the Nationals to their second straight victory following their 78-67 win over Australia’s Under-19 squad last Monday.

Co-skipper Mark Barroca scored 13 points and finished with three rebounds and the same number of assists while team caption Chris Tiu had 12 points and pulled down seven rebounds and had two assists.

“We’re doing great, we’re on the right track,” said Smart Gilas team manager Frankie Lim.

Smart Gilas’ Serbian coach Rajko Toroman said the team needs to sustain its form as the RP cagers take on the same team tonight (Philippine time). – Joey Villar
