GILAS Pilipinas was on the verge of completing one of the greatest comebacks in recent memory, but it wasn't meant to be as the Philippines suffer a gut-wrenching 91-90 loss at the death in the final qualifying match for the 2023 FIBA World Cup.
Even with both teams already advancing, Jordan's explosive offense still could not be stopped by the Philippines' ailing defense with 12 threes in the first half alone. Regardless of the outcome, the NSD spirit did live on for Gilas all the way to the final buzzer.
