PH 5 eyes 3rd straight win vs host Myanmar

THE Sinag Pilipinas basketball team resumes its quest for gold in the 27th Southeast Asian Games today when they tackle hosts, Myanmar at the Zeya-thiri Stadium in Naypyidaw.

After struggling to get off the gates in their, 88-75 win over Singapore, the Nationals played much better basketball in beating Cambodia, 107-57, the other day, for their second win in this single round-robin tournament.

The team with the most wins at the end of the round will claim the gold medal.
