    COACH Chot Reyes lamented the absence of three key Gilas players but says he is not making excuses as the Philippines wound up second in the Hanoi Southeast Asian Games basketball competition.

    “Indonesia came with a very good game plan. They shot well from the three-point line. In the end, we just couldn’t match it,” said Reyes, taking the blame for the shocking 81-85 loss in the gold medal match.

    Japeth Aguilar would have been a dominating presence on the frontcourt, Reyes said, while the backcourt needed players like Robert Bolick and Dwight Ramos.

    “But still, no excuses. I thought we still have the team that could get the job done and we came up short,” said Reyes.

    The Indonesians bagged their first ever SEA Games basketball gold behind naturalized player Marques Bolden, Derrick Michael Xzavierro, and Damar Abraham Gratiwa, while ending the Philippines’ 33-year reign.

    Matthew Wright scored 23, June Mar Fajardo had 20 points, Thirdy Ravena added 17, and Troy Rosario had 12 markers for Gilas.
