Pinoys keen to keep SEAG basketball supremacy

For the third time since 1977 when basketball was first played in the Southeast Asian Games, the Philippines would have battled Indonesia for the title it won 17 times since then.

The Filipinos, who lost the crown only once, to Malaysia in 1989, were to face the Indonesians yesterday following the two teams’ sweeping their elimination and semifinal rounds against Singapore and Thailand, respectively.
