The Philippines defeated Jordan 82–81 in an overtime thriller in the FIBA Basketball World Cup Asian Qualifiers — but it was Gilas Pilipinas’ defense that ultimately won the game.
In this in-depth Gilas Pilipinas vs. Jordan film breakdown, I break down the key defensive possessions, adjustments, and decisions that allowed the Philippines to overcome a late deficit and secure the victory in front of the home crowd in Manila.
Kai Sotto made a major impact on both ends of the floor, but there was much more happening defensively than what showed up in the box score.
We’ll go to the film to look at what wasn’t working early, how Jordan was creating advantages, and the adjustments Gilas made defensively to turn the game around.
