Jordan Clarkson and Gilas Pilipinas become the only winless team in Group A of the FIBA World Cup following a gut-wrenching loss to Angola
MANILA, Philippines – Jordan Clarkson aspires to repay home fans for their undying support with a breakthrough win in the FIBA World Cup.
But the Black Antelopes – who are a spot behind the world No. 40 Filipinos – flipped the script and left the partisan crowd at the Big Dome stunned. The Utah Jazz star shot a paltry 7-of-22 from the field and missed all but one of his eight treys in a horrendous shooting display for the Filipinos that saw them go 4-of-22 overall from three-point land.
A silver lining for Clarkson is the Filipinos’ refusal to fold despite going down by as many as 16 points in the fourth quarter.
