Game today
4:45 p.m. – Chooks To Go vs Lebanon
MANILA, Philippines — Chooks To Go-Pilipinas put up a proud performance on opening day of the 2017 FIBA Asia Champions Cup, cutting down to size a tall BC Astana team of Kazakhstan, 73-65, at the Chenzhou Sports Center in Chenzhou, China last night.
Isaiah Austin made a good impression in his initial outing with Team Phl, imposing his presence on defense and inspiring his teammates as they got to a triumphant start in the tourney despite limited preparation and a crippled lineup.
Successive blocks by Austin fired up the Filipinos who fought back from an eight-point deficit at the half and built their own eight-point lead in the fourth before wrapping up the victory.
Chooks To Go-Phl faces Sarreyyet Ramallah of Lebanon at 4:45 p.m. today.
Other opening-day winners were Taipei’s Dacin Tigers over India’s ONGC, 94-62; Mono Vampires of Thailand over Sarreyyet Ramallah, 102-100.
