MANILA, Philippines – Gilas Pilipinas will have a chance to nab the silver medal at the 2015 William Jones Cup should they defeat one final foe: Chinese Taipei B.
The Philippines will wrap up its spirited run in the Jones Cup with a clash with the host country's team on Sunday, September 6.
Gilas, who is coming off a stirring victory over USA Select-Overtake, is soaring with confidence after a positive performance in this year's Jones Cup – a tournament head coach Tab Baldwin is using as a means for the team to learn and gain experience in the lead-up to the 2015 FIBA Asia Championship later this month.
A win over Chinese Taipei B will give Gilas its first silver medal of the tournament. The Philippines already tallied 4 golds and 3 bronze medals. They won a gold during their last participation in 2012.
