Gilas Pilipinas Women were overwhelmed by China to open their 2021 FIBA Women’s Asia Cup Division A campaign, falling 52-143, Monday evening at the Prince Hamza Hall in Amman, Jordan.
It is the worst outing the Filipinas had against China in three tries.
Freshly-promoted to Division A in 2017, the Philippines lost to China by 74-points, 43-117. Two years later, it fell to China once more, this time via a smaller 47-point margin, 57-104.
Afril Bernardino was the sole player to score in double digits for the Philippines with 17 points to go along with seven rebounds, two assists, two steals, and two blocks.
Six-foot-four Clare Castro, Gilas’ sole center, only had one rebound in the game before fouling out.
Gilas Women will next face Australia on Wednesday at 12:00mn.
