The Tall Blacks banked on the inside plays of Zach Easthope and Dominique Kelman-Poto and the outside sniping of Nikau McCullough to take the fight out of the Filipinos and beat them for a place in the final.
Despite the loss, Gilas 3×3 stalwarts Almond Vosotros, Joseph Eriobu, Samboy de Leon and Lervin Flores can still go home with a breakthrough podium finish as they’re set for the battle for third slated at 7:45 p.m.
The PBA 3×3-powered Nationals would face the loser of the other semifinal duel between Australia and China.
The Filipino kept in step with the Kiwis early on with Vosotros, Eriobu and Flores finding their marks to stay within 5-8 count.
