    Gilas Pilipinas women vs Korea Asian Games recap

    In their maiden campaign at the Asiad, a flat start doomed the Philippine cagebelles, letting Korea get ahead by double figures at the end of the opening quarter, 23-13.

    South Korea steadily built its advantage over the Gilas women, leading by as many as 25 markers, while the Filipinas weren’t able to recover — only leading in the early goings when they started the game 5-0.

    Four different Koreans finished in twin-digit scoring to tow themselves to victory. Jisu Park and Leeseul Kang had 15 points each.

    Meanwhile, Jack Animam finished with a double-double for the Gilas women in a losing effort, tallying 15 points and 14 boards. She also had three assists, two steals, and a block.
