Sinag Pilipinas gets a spot at the 28th Southeast Asian (SEA) Games men\u2019s basketball finals, finishing off the semifinals with Kiefer Ravena scoring three points with just 16.2 seconds left in the game.<\/p>\n

The game ended with an 80-75, favoring the Philippines against Thailand at the OCBC Arena.<\/p>\n

Troy Rosario and Almond Vosotros also paved the way to the gold-medal trip on Monday, with three-point shots erasing Thailand\u2019s double-digit lead from the first quarter.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re used to handling pressure in the UAAP. I just want to go out there and win,\u2019\u2019 Ravena said.<\/p>\n

The first quarter ended with 14-22, with an 11-point deficit to the Gilas Cadets. The team came back up in the next quarter after Vosotros\u2019 three-pointers in the second half. He then continued puncturing the hoops in the third period.<\/p>\n

In total, Rosario garnered 27 points on 11-of-16 shooting from the field and 12 rebounds and Vosotros got 18 points.<\/p>\n

Sinag Pilipinas is then set to face the winner of the Singapore-Indonesian semifinals match on Sunday night.<\/p>\n

Though the team made it to the finals, head coach Tab Baldwin was unhappy with the game.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe fought against a professional team and the countries in Southeast Asia are improving because of the ABL (Asean Basketball League) where this team has been playing,\u201d Baldwin said. \u201cWe expect the same difficult situation if ever we play Singapore in the finals.\u201d<\/p>\n

Singapore had also won on its match with Thailand the other night.<\/p>\n
