THE ENERGEN Pilipinas national youth team scored their second straight win after they defeated Kazakhstan, 83-69, in the FIBA Asia Under-18 Championships in UlaanBaatar, Mongolia yesterday.

The win padded the Nationals record to 2-0 (win-loss) after winning their opening game, 95-52, over Saudi Arabia last Friday.

In that game, the University of the Philippines’ Kyle Suarez scored 15 to lead five Filipinos in double figures.
