2013 FIBA Asia Championship Group A

Add article description


Group A of the 2013 FIBA Asia Championship took place from 1 to 3 August 2013. This is the preliminary round of the 2013 FIBA Asia Championship, with the three teams with the best records (Chinese Taipei, the Philippines and Jordan) advancing to 2013 FIBA Asia Championship Group E. Saudi Arabia, the last placed team, was relegated to the 13th–15th classification round.

All games were played at the Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay, Philippines.

Summary

On the first day, Chinese Taipei defeated Jordan in a close match; meanwhile, the Philippines expectedly won against Saudi Arabia, but on a closer-than-expected winning margin. The next day, the Taiwanese blew out Saudi Arabia on their second match, while the Philippines outlasted Jordan in the final minutes to win. In a game that is colored by the killing of the Philippine Coast Guard to a Taiwanese fisherman at the waters near Batanes, and the subsequent withdrawal of invitation from the 2013 William Jones Cup by Taiwanese to the Philippines, which were defending champions, Chinese Taipei banked on Lu Cheng-ju and Lin Chih-chieh to defeat the Filipinos to win the group. In a virtual elimination game, the Jordanians won by 16 points to eliminate the Saudi Arabians.
