After loss to Chinese Taipei, Gilas guns for bounce back win vs New Zealand

- By REYNALD MAGALLON

Gilas Pilipinas' bid in the 2025 FIBA Asia Cup may have met a disastrous start after falling into the hands of the lower ranked Chinese Taipei, but the Nationals are not easily giving up on their dream of winning it all.

A short-term memory should be beneficial for the Filipinos as they need to quickly lick their wounds and pick themselves up when they take on a more formidable foe in New Zealand on Thursday, Aug. 7 (Manila time) at the King Abdullah Sports City in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.

Gilas head coach Tim Cone preached that the Nationals can certainly feel bad about themselves after the 95-87 loss to Chinese Taipei, but they needed to make sure that they do not stay crying over spilled milk ahead of the 11 p.m. clash against the Tall Blacks.
