Houston Rockets triumphed against the Indiana Pacers, 116-96, during the first ever National Basketball Association (NBA) preseason game held in the Philippines.
Thousands of NBA fans trooped to the Mall of Asia Arena to watch a live NBA game, the first in the history of the country.
James Harden earned 18 points to bring the rockets to victory together with Jeremy Lin's 12 points.
"We wanted to get off to a good start defensively. We set some defensive goals and the first unit really did a nice job establishing us defensively," said Rockets head coach Kevin McHale.
Houston started the first quarter with a 12-0 run but Indiana tried to keep the lead to a low with Paul George and David West.
