THE Gilas Pilipinas couldn’t get it done down the stretch, surrendering a costly 18-9 run late in the fourth, as the Dominican Republic prevailed, 87-81, in their group stage game during the opening day of the 2023 FIBA World Cup on Friday, August 25, 2023, before a record-breaking crowd at the Philippine Arena in Bocaue, Bulacan.
However, they were still within two, 81-79, after AJ Edu split his free-throws with 1:54 to go in the match. But the Dominican Republic’s Victor Liz canned a layup off a nifty pass by Jean Montero to put his team up, 83-79. Free-throws by Lester Quinones and a basket by Montero sealed the hard-earned victory for the Los Quisqueyanos.
Clarkson, the one-time NBA Sixth Man of the Year and the Gilas’ undisputed well for points had 28 points, seven rebounds, seven assists, and two steals. However, he also coughed the ball up a whopping eight times.
