June Mar Fajardo tied things up 71-all with a nifty layup. Then, charities by Ranidel De Ocampo and Fajardo erected a two-possession lead, 75-71, with under a minute left. Forced into a fouling game, Senegal closed to within three with four ticks remaining, but Jimmy Alapag, in his final international game, canned two charities, before Maleye Ndoye’s triple ended the game.
Philippines (81) - Blatche 18, Alapag 18, Fajardo 15, Norwood 7, Lee/Dalistan 6, Aguilar 6, Tenorio 5, Chan 4, de Ocampo 2, Pingris 0, David 0.
Senegal (79) - Faye 20, Dieng 13, Ndoye 13, Ndour 13, Dalmeida 9, Ndiaye 5, Thomas 2, Diop 2, Badji 2, Ndoye 0.
Quarters: 13-19, 37-24, 49-44, 64-64, 81-79
