Unlike their upset win the other night, Gilas Pilipinas started the game slow against Georgia eventually absorbing a two-point tactical loss 94-96 in their second game at the 2024 FIBA Olympic Qualifying Tournament in Riga, Latvia.
Georgia forced eight turnovers against the Philippines, which gave them a 17-28 advantage at the end of the first frame. This changed the complexion of the game, allowing the Filipinos to slowly cut the lead as they found their rhythm in the offense to end the first half trailing by a dozen, 43-55. CJ Perez provided key contributions in the final frame, never missing a field goal, as Gilas Pilipinas pushed their opponents to an unhappy win.
