The Philippines came back from 21 down to beat the Macau Black Bears, 103-98, on Monday at Smart Araneta Coliseum.

He along with Scottie Thompson, Dwight Ramos and Kevin Quiambao were said to have connected crucial three-point shots that kept Gilas in front until the end.

The exhibition at Al Ahli Sports Club came three days before Gilas opens its Asia Cup Group D campaign against Chinese-Taipei.
