Gilas Pilipinas beat Iran, 84-83, to advance to the Asian Games semifinals for the first time since 2002.
Gilas Pilipinas suffered a fourth quarter collapse but ultimately emerged victorious as it escaped Iran, 84-83, to return to the semifinals of the Asian Games for the first time since 2002 on Tuesday in Hangzhou, China. The nationals leaned on the hot hands of Justin Brownlee, who erupted for 36 points, 16 of which he dropped in the first quarter, to go with eight rebounds and four assists. With the win, Gilas arranged a duel with host China in the semifinals.
The Iranians, though, staged a massive comeback in the fourth period with Matin Aghjanpour burying back-to-back triples followed by a Meisam Mirzaeitalarposhti bucket that cut their deficit to a single digit, 67-73. Mohammadsina Vahedi made some timely baskets before his two free throws gave Iran the lead, 81-80. Fajardo then completed a putback basket after a missed triple from Calvin Oftana.
