The Philippine national men’s basketball team hung around for nearly two and a half quarters but could not stop an Australian onslaught in the fourth that sealed a 97-75 victory for the FIBA Oceania champions on the second day of the pocket tournament in Antibes, France.
Gilas Pilipinas, like in their game against France, looked like they belonged on the world level before running into some trouble in the fourth quarter, where they were outscored, 24-12.
Naturalized NBA player Andray Blatche impressed with 20 points and 10 rebounds through three quarters but the Gilas center ran out of stream in the final period, where he failed to contribute much to the Philippines’ cause.
