Gilas Pilipinas vs Greece Final Scores & Results: Philippines 70-82 Greece
It's Day 2 of the FIBA Basketball World Cup 2014 and the Gilas Pilipinas MUST not lose again after that heartbreaking loss to Croatia on opening day.
It would even be more painful to see them lose twice in a row, adding more pressure for them in their next 4 games.
But Greece is a tougher opponent: ranked 5th in the FIBA World Ranking and players' average height is 6'8". Gilas Pilipinas meanwhile is only ranked 34th and has 6'3" average height.
Fans were blaming the loss of the Philippines during their game against Croatia to the referees allegedly siding with the Croatians (so many fouls and 3-second violations not called against Croatia).
For their next game versus Greece, there are new referees, except for 1 - Kuwaiti referee Mohammad Alamiri.
Will Andray Blatche dominate again? He recorded a double-double 28 points and 12 rebounds in their game versus Croatia. (FIBA Photo)
