From a 34-16 bulge, the Thais, perennial men’s wheelchair ASEAN Para Games champions, continued to pour it on and stretched the lead to 45-24 entering the pivotal final period where they continued their relentless offense on the way to their second win in three outings in Group A. Compounding the Philippine squad’s miseries was the early foul trouble of vital cog Kenneth Christopher Tapia, who played with 4 fouls most of the way and had 6 points.
In this precision sport specifically designed for athletes with cerebral palsy and other motor-related conditions, the game is divided into four parts called “end.” The duo will be at the head of Philippine contingent of 46 athletes and officials during the colorful inaugural rites starting at 7:30 pm at the sprawling 80,000-seat arena.
