MANILA, Philippines–A last-minute practice around midnight, it turns out, afforded Gilas Pilipinas the boost it needed to survive champion Indonesia in the semifinals of the 32nd Southeast Asian Games' basketball competition on Monday. 'We practiced until midnight the last time. We had to wait until the Thailand-Indonesia game was over to know what to prepare for, and that paid off tonight. In the fourth quarter, especially,' national coach Chot Reyes said shortly after the 84-76 come-from-behind win at Morodok Techo National Stadium in Phnom Penh.
