    CHINA joined Japan in the winners’ circle among Asian teams in the 2023 Fiba Basketball World Cup, beating Angola, 83-76, on Thursday at the start of the classification round at the Smart-Araneta Coliseum.

    The Chinese cagers found their shooting in the second half to finally pick up a breakthrough victory after going 0-3 in the group stage.

    China will now enter its final game against Gilas Pilipinas on Saturday with momentum after losing their first three matches by a total of 80 points.

    Hu Jinqiu had 20 points, while Kyle Anderson added 17 points, seven rebounds, and four assists for China, which is now all of a sudden in the hunt for the lone berth for Asia in the Paris Olympics.
