Nationals seek sequel to stunnerGilas Pilipinas' Quentin Millora-Brown is expected to shore up the frontline for the national team. MANILA, Philippines — Gilas Pilipinas and New Zealand return to the arena where the Filipinos previously pulled off one of their biggest reversals at the Kiwis’ expense. That’s certainly the intent as the Nationals host the Tall Blacks at the Pasay City venue 459 days after famously ambushing the visitors, 93-89, back at the FIBA Asia Cup Qualifiers. Mennenga averaged 17.5 points and eight rebounds in Window 1 while Smith-Milner torched the Nationals with 25 points spiked by five triples in the ACQ rematch on the road. Jordan Ngatai, who fired 23 in the Kiwis’ Asian Cup domination of Gilas, is also back in their fold.
