Gilas Pilipinas swept the competition in the group stage of their campaign in the 2013 Super Kung Sheung Cup by handing out a 119-46 beating to the hapless Malaysian team.
Former Ateneo Blue Eagle big man Greg Slaughter returned from a bout with allergies to dump 27 points on the young and inexperienced Malaysians. Slaughter made all but 2 of his 14 field goal attempts in only 23 minutes of play.
Kevin Alas and RR Garcia also did well, scoring 18 points each to backstop Slaughters dominating performance. Alas rounded out his brilliant play with 8 assists, 5 rebounds, and 2 steals. Fil-American Justin Melton and super swingman KG Caaleta scored 14 markers each to further underscore the Pinoys supremacy. Nobody scored more than 8 points for the Malaysians.
Gilas advances to the crossover semifinals where they are set to face the dangerous Changsha Park Lane Snow Wolves.
