The Philippines trailed by just 5 points down the stretch, 73-78, before Turkey sealed the deal with a pair of wide-open three-pointers. But the silver linings in the loss were the Philippines’ winning the rebounding battle and shooting an efficient 31-of-61 from the field despite going a cold 5-of-17 clip from three-point distance.
