MANILA, Philippines—Greg Slaughter made up for lost time as Smart Gilas Pilipinas demolished Malaysia, 119-46, Thursday in the 19th Super Keung Sheung Cup at the Queen Elizabeth Stadium in Wanchai, Hong Kong.

Slaughter, who missed the last game due to food poisoning according to head coach Chot Reyes, dominated the paint on the way to a game-best 27-point performance—more than half of the Malaysians’ output.
