Gilas finishes dead-last in World Cup

A disappointing campaign to say the least.

Gilas Pilipinas will be coming home winless as it capped its campaign in the 2019 FIBA World Cup with 75-95 loss to Iran on Sunday night Beijing Wukesong Sports Center.

Gilas ended their campaign with five losses without a single win to show to finish dead-last in the 32-team field.

Hamed Haddadi teamed up with Nikko Bahrami and Mohammad Jamshidi in helping Iran dominate Gilas as the trio combined for 52 points.

Robert Bolick led the Philippines with 15 points while Andray Blatche chipped in 12 points on a paltry 4-of-12 shooting from the field.

Blatche was ejected in the final 5:23 mark of the game after he was slapped with two technical fouls for continuous complaining.
