[Title] => RP loses steam, bows to Latvia
[Summary] => SONDRIO – For a while, it looked like Selecta Philippines would upset two-time European champion Latvia in the opener of the four-nation, three-day Selecta RP-Euro Basketball Challenge at the Palascicghi gym in this Italian resort town Monday night.
Danny Seigle hit the icebreaker, Asi Taulava nearly tore down the backboard on a dunk, and Eric Menk buried a triple as the Philippines raced to a 12-8 lead. The aggressiveness that the Filipinos lacked in losing a 43-point blowout to Italy the night before was evident against Latvia – at least in the early going.
