Greece rallied with a big fourth quarter to beat defending champion Spain 79-75 on Thursday (Friday, Manila time) in the second round of the European basketball championship.

Trailing by five at the end of three quarters, Greece outscored Spain 27-18 in the fourth to gain a win that could prevent Spain from winning a third consecutive title.

Petron Blaze guard Ronald Tubid did not wait for his 11 a.m. meeting on Friday with PBA Commissioner Chito Salud to say sorry to the player he claimed he "hurt unintentionally."

Tubid has been summoned by Salud after he was called for a technical foul for what looked like a punch to the groin of Jayson Castro late in the Texters' 88-122 loss to Talk 'N Text on Wednesday night.

Castro crumpled to the floor after the hit, but Tubid insisted he was going for the ball and the hit was unintentional.

In an interview with ABS-CBN News, Palou confirmed that he pushed for the removal of Atayde and Reyes from the UAAP Board.

The Ateneo Blue Eagles will not be forced to forfeit their victory against the University of the East (UE) Red Warriors last September 8, but head coach Bo Perasol has been suspended for their last game of the elimination round.

A source close to the league board told ABS-CBN News that the Blue Eagles will not be forced to forfeit their 77-72 win, which was put at risk after UE filed a letter seeking clarification.

They weren't even supposed to be in the tournament in the first place, but Mexico managed to buck the odds and go the distance, trouncing Puerto Rico 91-89 to become champions of the 2013 FIBA Americas tourney, Wednesday (Thursday, PHL time) at the Polidero de Caracas in Caracas, Venezuela.

Mexico only qualified as a late replacement for a banned Panama squad, but they proved their worth late in a tightly-contested championship match.

Facundo Campazzo exploded for 31 points, 15 coming off three-pointers, to help Argentina claim third place in the 2013 FIBA Americas Championship, via a 103-93 win over the Dominican Republic, Wednesday (Thursday, PHL time) at the Polidro de Caracas in Caracas, Venezuela.

Campazzo's game-high 31 came on an 8-of-10 clip from the field, and he also converted 10-of-15 free throws. In addition, the 22-year-old point guard made it a double-double with 11 assists, plus four rebounds.
