Latvia looking to clinch first place in home OQT

Latvia really look like a team that wants to go to the Olympics. Against Georgia, Luca Banchi’s team outperformed the Crusaders in every aspect of the game.

The crucial moment was an 11-28 2nd quarter, where Latvia pulled away, never looking back. The locals kept the lead for 38 minutes, led by BCL team Tortona Arturs Strautins, coming off the bench for 18 points in 18 minutes of actions without missing a single shot.

Las Gilas will need to step up, especially in terms of perimeter defense, if they want to stand a chance against the home side.

Latvia vs Philippines Preview

Latvia look like a perfectly-oiled machine, and it will be a tall order for Las Gilas to stop them from clinching first place.

Deep, unselfish, well-coached, Latvia want to make sure they win their 2nd consecutive game. Las Gilas can enjoy one more rest day, but no Latvia player was involved for more than 27 minutes on debut day, hence their exertion should not prove too much.

Anything other than a Latvia win would be a huge surprise.
