A major strength was their discipline, committing only 11.3 fouls per game. They were also active on defense with 5.8 steals per game. Although they averaged more turnovers (14) and fewer assists (13.8), Guam’s success came from physical defense, limiting opponent free throws, and creating disruptive plays rather than relying on high scoring.

Across their five games, the Philippines averaged 78.8 points per game and showed good offensive flow, shooting 41.8% from the field. Their 49.8% two-point shooting shows they are reliable scorers inside. One of their biggest strengths is ball control—they committed just 10.2 turnovers per game, much better than Guam.
