Gilas Pilipinas (5-3) is coming off a dominating 101-70 victory over India. The Filipinos had all aspects of their game working against their winless opponent, including their three-point shooting. That aspect of their game had been a problem area prior to Saturday.

Matthew Wright led the team with 19 points, while Von Rolfe Pessumal and Almond Vosotros had 14 points each. Stars Mike Myers and Kiefer Ravena both saw limited action because the Filipinos had control of the game from the start, and it gave head coach Chot Reyes a chance to give all of his players an opportunity to show off their talents.
Christian Standhardinger also reached double figures for Gilas Pilipinas with 10 points.
Amjyot Singh Gill was India's best player as he scored 25 points in the defeat.
