Even without NBA players Cedi Osman and Alperen Sengun, the Turkish leaned on their deadly long-range game and knocked down 14 three-pointers to keep the visiting Filipinos at bay and protect their homecourt in Istanbul. A Fajardo jump shot and a Brownlee dunk cut the Philippines’ deficit to 73-78 before Biberovic – a 23-year-old who got picked 56th overall in the NBA Draft last year – hit his fifth and final trey to give the hosts an eight-point lead.

Carl Tamayo chimed in 9 points in the loss, while Kai Sotto put up 7 points, 4 assists, and 3 rebounds before he fouled out with 2:35 minutes remaining.
