PHNOM PENH, Cambodia — Team Philippines delivered a strong finishing kick, plucking six more gold medals from men's basketball, wrestling, kickboxing and arnis to jack up its harvest in the 32nd Southeast Asian Games at the Morodok Techo National Stadium here.

The celebrated Gilas Pilipinas completed its redemption mission as it beat Cambodia, 80-69, in the gold medal match of the men's basketball event.

Despite facing all kind of challenges, the Filipino cagers played their hearts out with naturalized player Justin Brownlee sizzling early to dictate the tempo and set the stage for the completion of its hunt for SEA Games redemption.

Brownlee finished with 23 points to lead all scorers for the Filipinos, who slayed the ghost of the "Horror in Hanoi" in which Gilas lost the SEA Games crown to Indonesia after 28 years of dominance.

"I envisioned this, I visualized this, but I didn't make it happen, it was the players," Gilas coach Chot Reyes said, flirting at the idea of stepping down as Gilas coach in the biennial meet.

"It was their effort, their willingness to give out everything they got."

Athletes from other fronts also made their own golden performances as Team Philippines formally surpassed its 52 gold medals in Vietnam.

Already at 51 gold medals entering the final day of competition, wrestler Alvin Lobreguito ended a decade-long search for a gold medal after ruling the men's freestyle 57-kilogram event.
