Gilas Pilipinas now 2-0; Shares top spot in group A with Chinese Taipei

Gilas Pilipinas got their second straight win in the 27th FIBA Asia Championship to share the top spot in group A with Chinese Taipei . The nationals once again had a sloppy start which saw them down by as much as 5 points at the half. But in the second half, Gilas Pilipinas finally got their groove as the Philippines unleashed a 20-2 run. The Jordanians tried to reclaim the lead with a late 4th quarter push but the Philippines were able to hold their ground until the final buzzer.

Final score: PHI 77 - 71 JOR

Gilas Pilipinas will go up against the Taiwanese national team tomorrow at 8:30pm. #LabanPilipinas #PUSO!
