Gilas can't win without Douthit; loses to B-Meg

In what could be the most surprising (and entertaining) game so far this Commissioner's Cup, the undermanned/ injury-riddled B-Meg Derby Ace Llamados handed the Smart Gilas Pilipinas National Team its first loss in six games, winning 98-90 in overtime.

And while you could easily say that SG lost due to naturalized center Marcus Douthit's 3rd quarter ankle sprain which led to big boy minutes for 6"9 beanpole Greg Slaughter, consider that B-Meg was playing without top gunner James Yap, point guard Jonas Villanueva and enforcers/bigs Rafi Reavis, Don Allado and Jondan Salvador.
