Gilas Pilipinas waited for 676 days to get their revenge on China.
During the 2015 FIBA Asia Cup Final that had an Olympic spot on the line, there were some controversial calls that were made in favor of the hosts. And it left a bitter taste in the mouths of the fans and the players involved up to this day.
Terrence Romeo, who had been part of that team, took matters into his own hands on Wednesday night, scoring 14 of his game-high 26 points in the final frame. The 5-foot-11 gunslinger scored eight straight points, punctuated by a trey from the top to lift his side, 92-87, with 2:03 to go.
And once the dust had settled, Gilas made sure to celebrate like it was a championship.
Indeed, revenge is a dish best served cold.
