Rosa Multi-Purpose Complex in Laguna.Raymundo scored 20 points while Javelona collected 18 markers, 10 rebounds, four assists, and two steals and the Philippines won by 38 points to end the elimination round.With that, they remained in the running for a top two finish and the automatic advance into the semifinals it will entail.Even with a 14-6 standing to end the eliminations though, Alab’s chances are out of its hands as it will need to hope that Hong Kong gets the better of Chong Son on Wednesday.Still, the wire-to-wire win is a big-time boost and the best games from Raymundo and Javelona are nothing but welcome.The Filipinos were on fire right from tip-off and finished the game with a 56 percent clip from the field as well as 24 fastbreak points compared to their opponents’ six.The all-out domination afforded Parks, Brownlee, and Balkman some rest and none of them played more than 25 minutes.Parks still wound up with 19 points while Brownlee and Balkman chipped in 11 markers apiece.The Knights were paced by Shane Edwards who had 21 points. They wrapped up their maiden season in the league with a 5-15 standing.This story was originally published on the <a href="https://sports.abs-cbn.com/basketball/news/2018/03/25/alab-fans-flames-outright-semis-berth-38-point-win-39473" target="_blank">ABS-CBN Sports website</a>.
