There will be no rest for the weary as Gilas will have to quickly regroup from another stunning loss to Chinese Taipei, facing a crucial grudge match against a mighty New Zealand side come Thursday evening at 11 p.m. (Philippine time).

Gilas showed signs of life after trailing by as many as 8-25 in the first quarter, but such a slow start proved to be decisive as they fell to the bottom of Group D alongside Iraq.

FINAL: Saddled with a slow start, foul trouble, and offensive struggles, the Philippines absorbed a gut-wrenching 87-95 loss to Chinese Taipei to open the #FIBAAsiaCup2025. | @tiebreakertimes Photos: FIBA Basketball
