It was mission accomplished for the Philippines in the 3x3 Basketball Tournament of the Southeast Asian Games, as the men completed the golden sweep of the host nation after the 21-9 demolition of Indonesia Monday afternoon at the FilOil FlyingV Centre in San Juan City.

Drawing inspiration from the their female counterparts earlier, the men of Gilas Tatluhan soundly defeated their opposition by limiting them to single digits, sweeping their way to the title by winning all eight games in record time.

CJ Perez was a beast unleashed, outscoring the entire Indonesian squad by his lonesome by carrying Gilas with 10 points, including a nasty poster on Itun Surliyadin that made headlines with 7:13 left in the game, taking the fight out of the visitors in the process.

Both Chris Newsome and Jason Perkins added four for Gilas, with Mo Tautuaa adding three, including the golden two-pointer that ended the beatdown with 2:25 to spare.
