Gilas Pilipinas Loses to Argentina on September 1, 2014. [Videos] Philippine team gave Argentina a good fight. Despite consecutive lost, Gilas Pilipinas earned praises from international teams in FIBA World Cup.
The Philippines men’s basketball team played hard against Argentina in FIBA World Cup group play on Monday, September 1 but ultimately fell short.
Gilas lost 85-81.
The key moment came with less than a minute left–Gilas had the ball down just 2 points, and head coachVincent Reyes had called timeout. But Jayson William went up for a 3-pointer which seemed to be partially blocked. He came back down with the ball and was called for a travel.
The Philippines will now rest on Tuesday, then play Puerto Rico on Wednesday and Senegal on Thursday. Friday is designated a rest day before knockout play starts next Saturday, September 6. Gilas will have to win its final two games to have any chance of getting into knockout play.
