Anchor 1: Today is August 31th, Thursday and today’s news is Olympic bid crushed as Gilas Pilipinas falls short
of spirited comeback vs South Sudan Reporting from Araneta Coliseum Dancyn Espanto. Kindly update are
viewers about the tournament.
Reporter: A sizzling start by South Sudan doomed the Philippines in an 87-68 loss as it remained winless in its
hosting of the FIBA World Cup and crashed out of contention for the Paris Games at the Araneta Coliseum on
Thursday, August 31.
The Filipinos got buried by as deep as 21 points, 51-30, after the South Sudanese shot 6-of-10 from three-point
land in the opening quarter, before they fell short of their spirited second-half comeback to fall to 0-4 in Group
M.
Dwight Ramos and AJ Edu both turned in double-doubles to give Utah Jazz star Jordan Clarkson ample local
support, but Carlik Jones – another NBA player – delivered down the stretch as the Bright Stars held on to the
win.
Jones finished with a near triple-double of 17 points, 14 assists, and 9 rebounds for South Sudan, which seized
the top spot in Group M with a 2-2 record.
Gilas Pilipinas trailed by just two possessions early in the final salvo, 59-64, before Jones anchored a 13-2 run
that sealed the deal for the Bright Stars.
Clarkson chalked up 24 points and 4 rebounds, Ramos put up 20 points and 12 rebounds, while Edu chimed in
12 points and 14 rebounds in another losing effort.
With the loss, the Philippines bowed out of the race for the Olympic berth to be rewarded to the highest-
placing Asian squad.
