Photo from Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas/Facebook.MANILA — The Gilas Pilipinas Boys Under-16 almost kept Thailand scoreless for a whole quarter en route to their second straight win.</div>The LA Tenorio-mentored squad stayed perfect in the 2025 FIBA U16 Asia Cup SEABA Qualifiers after their 87-42 victory over the visitors on Sunday at the Bren Z. Guiao Sports Complex on Sunday.Carl De Los Reyes had 16 points with nine rebounds and two assists to lead the Nationals, Prince Cariño followed with 15, while Evaraigne Cruz and Nickson Cabañero followed with 12 and 10 markers, respectively.The Philippines kept Thailand without a field goal in the first quarter and even went on to score 31 straight points for a 31-to-nothing lead, and it was only a late split by Alexander Junior David at the foul line that allowed the Thais to avoid being scoreless at the end of the first frame.The visiting squad, however, managed to show a semblance of fightback in the following quarter as they managed to outscore Gilas 19-16 in that span, but their disadvantage only ballooned to 45 as the game progressed.A huge factor in this was the Philippines’ defense resulting in Thailand committing 21 turnovers, with the hosts turning these into 33 fastbreak points, and it also allowed them to limit their opponents to only making 12 of their 76 field goal attempts (16%).Ananda Jaeger led Thailand with an eight-point, eight-rebound game to serve as one of the few bright spots of their squad, while Lorenzo Ravazzini followed with seven markers and 12 boards. <div>The Scores:</div>Gilas 87 —  De Los Reyes 16, Cariño 15, Cruz 12, Cabañero 10, Hallare 6, T. Pascual 6, J. Pascual 4, Tan-Chi 4, Miranda 4, Lumagub 4, Antolin 3, Restificar 3.
