The Philippine team was clearly better than its Kuwaiti opponents but their level of play dipped to that of their West Asian foe. The Kuwaitis hardly played defense but the fast-paced game, even if it did favor the Filipinos was filled with turnovers and poor play no doubt leaving Head Coach Yeng Guiao hardly happy.
But the win was enough to send them to the quarterfinals where they will play the loser of the China-Jordan game.
RP 85 – Baguio 14, Taulava 12, Dillinger 10, Raymundo 10, Yap 9, Aguilar 9, Santos 9, Thoss 6, Norwood 3, Helterbrand 3, Miller 0.
KUWAIT 71 – Alrabah 20, Ashkanani 20, Saeed 12, Fadhel 6, Alsaeid 4, Alhamidi 4, Alkhabbaz 3, Fahdel 2, Jamal 0,
Quarters: 17-13; 40-29; 60-51; 85-71
