Gilas Pilipinas head coach Tim Cone hopes the Philippine men's basketball team can dig deep one last time and deliver a historic gold medal in the 19th Asian Games.

Gilas Pilipinas head coach Tim Cone hopes the Philippine men's basketball team can dig deep one last time and deliver a historic gold medal in the 19th Asian Games in Hangzhou, China.

"Guys, yesterday ended last night," said Cone in his message to Gilas after their team prayer on Thursday afternoon. "There's no more yesterday. It's all gone. Don't live there, don't live in the past. You gotta start living forward."Cone earlier called on the Filipinos to be "locked in" against Jordan, which crushed them 87-62 when they played in the group phase and denied them an outright berth in the quarterfinals.

The Gilas coaching staff initially wanted to cancel practice on Thursday, but Cone said they needed to make adjustments against Jordan especially after their huge loss in the group stage.
