MANILA, Philippines – The Gilas Pilipinas under-18 team saw its gutsy fourth-quarter comeback attempt go down the drain as it suffered a 62-56 loss to host Jordan in the FIBA U18 Asia Cup 2024 at the Prince Hamza Sports Hall in Amman, Jordan on Tuesday, September 3 . Jordan countered with a 4-0 run to make it a three-possession game, before Allen Perez and Esperanza delivered crucial back-to-back hits to pull Gilas Boys back within just 3 points, 56-59, with 56 seconds left.
Omar Salman then sealed the win for Jordan with two charities as Gilas Boys dropped to 1-1 in Group D.
