QATAR bounced back by nipping Chinese-Taipei, 71-68, on Wednesday to create a stir in the standings in Group E of the 27th FIBA-Asia Men’s Basketball Championship at the SM Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay City.
The victory of the Qataris boosted the Filipinos’ hopes of topping Group E because the Philippines, Chinese-Taipei and Qatar may end up the elimination round in a three-way tie with 4-1 win-loss each (assuming Gilas Pilipinas beat Hong Kong on Wednesday). A win by the Philippines over Hong Kong will enable it to land on top of the standings via higher quotient over Qatar and Chinese-Taipei. If that’s the case, Qatar will be no.2, Chinese-Taipei no. 3 and Jordan no. 4.
