Gilas Pilipinas led by Jordan Clarkson’s 34-point eruption secured their first victory against our Asian rival country China, 96-75, to close their FIBA World Cup campaign earlier this evening at Smart Araneta Coliseum, Quezon City.
Despite a four-consecutive loss upset for our national team to deny our ticket to the Paris Olympics as the best Asian team, our national squad still ignites our burning hearts to strengthen the pillars of our local basketball support.
