MANILA, Philippines – The Philippines was blown out once again by China, 85-55, during the classification round of the 2016 FIBA Asia Under 18 Championship on Saturday, July 30, in Tehran, Iran.

Theo Flores led Batang Gilas with 12 points and 6 boards, while JV Gallego had 6 points, 6 boards, and 3 dimes.

The Philippines lost a close game to South Korea on Friday which halted the team from advancing to the semifinals.

Batang Gilas was also blown out by China, 95-66, during the group phase of the tourney.

On Sunday, the Philippines will take on the loser of Saturday’s game between Chinese Taipei and India in the classification match to determine who finishes the tourney in seventh place. – Rappler.com
