KELAPA Gading, Jakarta—The Discovery Perlas ng Pilipinas cagebelles downed defending champion Malaysia, 64-56, and raised prospects for a rare basketball golden double for the country at the 26th Southeast Asian Games.

The Nationals opened the game with a 21-6 run, stormed ahead by as many as 19 points, before holding off the Malaysians down the stretch when cramps hobbled their key players.

Ateneo's Kiefer Ravena led Sinag Pilipinas with 17 points as the Philippines demolished Cambodia Monday.
