But the two explosive Thai stars shot a horrible 9-of-33 from the floor overall.The Philippines and Thailand didn't cross path in the 2023 SEA Games men's basketball last May.The last meeting between these two rivals was during the 2022 SEA Games edition in Vietnam where the Philippines had to overhaul an early 10-point deficit to nose out Thailand, 76-73 in the group stage.
