FOSHAN, China—Gilas Pilipinas put together a much better effort, but it was nowhere near close enough for them to defeat a "special" Serbian team in the 2019 FIBA World Cup at the Foshan International Sports and Cultural Center here.
"Of course we're all disappointed. It's really the same disappointment that we feel, but overall, this is a better effort, actually, than the first effort," said Guiao, referring to their performance against Italy wherein they lost 108-62. Jokic, in particular, carved up the Philippines' defense in less than 20 minutes of action. The Denver All-Star went 5-of-5 from the field and put up 11 points, 7 rebounds, and 7 assists.
