#JonesCup2019: Gilas women came up short anew, fall to KNB

Less than 24 hours after their overtime loss to Chinese Taipei, Gilas Pilipinas Women dropped their fourth straight game to remain at the cellar of the 2019 William Jones Cup in Taipei, Taiwan after conceding to Korea National Bank, 92-80 yesterday.

Not even a solid third quarter inspire the debutantes in their search for a win, as they were taken down by the South Korean club.

Afril Bernardino had 24 points on a perfect 12/12 from inside the arc for the FIlipinas, who inched closer to seven at the end of the third after winning it by nine.

However, the sixteen-point halftime lead was just too steep to overcome as KNB were led by Hee Jin Choi's 25.

Korea National Bank 92 -– Choi 25, Sim 24, Kim 23, Youm 8, Park 8, Y M Lee 4, S J Lee 0.

Philippines 80 -- Bernardino 24, Animam 13, Bautista 12, Pontejos 8, Bade 7, Miranda 6, Hawkins 4, Jose 3, Hayes 2, Claro 0, Castro 0.

Quarter scores: 20-28, 35-51, 59-66, 80-92.
