John Medina went ballistic in the second half, but his torrid offense was not enough to salvage Gilas Pilipinas Boys in their 75-58 loss to New Zealand in the 2024 FIBA U18 Asia Cup on late Wednesday in Amman, Jordan. The 18-year-old shooting guard dropped 23 points in the last two quarters en route to an impressive 30-point explosion laced with two rebounds, two steals, and one assist as the Philippines fell to a 1-2 card in Group D.
But New Zealand had every answer with Kahu Treacher ending the frame with a three-pointer of his own, bringing their lead back up to 15, 58-43. Medina fired back-to-back three-pointers, once again trimming the gap to 11 at 67-56. But the youngster didn't get enough help from the rest of the squad, allowing New Zealand to cruise to the win.
