Gilas Youth completes comeback vs Chinese Taipei to sweep FIBA U18 Asian Championship group

The Gilas Pilipinas Under-18 team completed a come-from-behind win against Chinese Taipei, 84-73, to end its group games in the 2022 FIBA U18 Asian Championship on Tuesday in Iran.

Chinese Taipei were leading at the end of the third quarter, 63-60, before Gilas claimed the lead, 66-64, early in the fourth period. The Philippines then took control of the game and picked up its third win in the tournament after limiting Chinese Taipei to just 10 points against Gilas' 24-point romp in the final frame.

Mason Amos again stood out for the youth team with 28 points, while James Nacua had 16 points. Jared Bahay had 10 boards on top of his 8-point performance.

Chun Sheng Chang led Chinese Taipei with 24 points.

A draw will determine the pairing of the quarterfinals after the last group phase game.
