five pips Korea Stung by two last-second losses, the Philippines made sure there was no endgame meltdown last night when it defeated Korea, 88-84, for its second victory in the 29th William Jones Cup in Taipei. Asi Taulava, JJ Helterbrand and Gabe Norwood came through with crucial plays down the stretch as the Nationals bounced back from two straight heart-breaking losses. The 6-foot-9 Taulava, foul trouble early in the opening-half,
was a pillar of strength inside the pain and hit three of four free
throws in the final minute to keep the Nationals afloat as the Koreans
sustained the pressure, 80-78. |

pot. They are Eric Lacson's August 5-Cock 5M Guaranteed; Dan Bernales'
RM 940/Dante; Boy Abada's Margaux; Jess Rivera's St. Therese, and
