Jordan Clarkson fouls out as Dominican Republic stuns Philippines
Jordan Clarkson fouled out when it mattered most and Gilas Pilipinas bowed to Dominican Republic, 87-81, in its FIBA World Cup opener before a record crowd at the Philippine Arena on Friday, August 25. The NBA star finished with all-around numbers with 28 points, 7 rebounds, 7 assists, and 2 steals but got the boot with 3:30 minutes left as majority of the 38,115 fans – a World Cup mark – returned home in disappointment.

Really fun game between the Dominican Republic and the Philippines, but Jordan Clarkson fouling out late helps Karl-Anthony Towns and the DR escape with an 87-81 victory. To get out of group play, the hosts will now need to beat Italy later in this round. – 10:09 AM
