Vosotros, Gilas Men 3x3 blow lead vs Iran in FIBA 3x3 Asia Cup loss

Gilas Men 3x3 squander a four-point lead with 1:30 minutes left and fall to Iran in their FIBA 3x3 Asia Cup opener. 3x3Asia

MANILA, Philippines – Gilas Men 3×3 frittered away a sizable lead and absorbed a stunning 14-11 loss to Iran in their opening game in the FIBA 3×3 Asia Cup in Singapore on Friday, March 31.

Sitting on an 11-7 cushion, the Filipinos went scoreless in the final 1:30 minutes and allowed the Iranians to go on a win-stealing 7-0 run as they slumped to an inauspicious start in Pool D. The Philippines, led by Almond Vosostros and Brandon Bates, needs to win its final pool stage game against Qatar later on Friday to gain a chance at qualifying for the quarterfinals.Bates tallied a team-high 5 points, draining back-to-back buckets that gave Gilas Men a 9-7 edge before Vosotros extended that advantage to 11-7 off a two-pointer with 1:30 minutes left.

The Philippines caught a break when Iran incurred a technical foul, but Vosotros missed the game-tying technical free throw. Girgoorian then sealed the win with a pair of foul shots as he finished with 7 points to show the way for Iran, which won all of its three games in the qualifiers to reach the main draw.
