“Told them they just have to be tough and tough players are able to absorb all adversities,” said Ayo who experienced similar plays in a Davao tournament they played in. “Natuto kami sa Davao kasi dun binugbog talaga kami.”

Physicality, though, played favors for the Green Archers as they limited the Red Warriors to a paltry 27-of-82 shooting while they cruised to an easier 29-of-69 clip good for 44 percent.
