The Philippines boys national team lost a tightly contested game to host Argentina 74-71 in the FIBA Under-17 World Cup at Newell’s Old Boys in Rosario city on Tuesday (Wednesday, Manila time).
Batang Gilas thus enters the round of 16 having lost all 3 of its group-stage games.
The Filipinos next play undefeated Canada, winners of Group C and ranked No. 2 in the world, during the crossover, knockout phase on Wednesday.
After losing back-to-back games via blowout, Batang Gilas gave world No. 8 Argentina everything it could handle.
Down by as many 11 points, the Philippines patiently whittled down the deficit and eventually took the driver’s seat 54-52 late in the third quarter on Carl Tamayo’s layup.
Argentina went ahead again 61-56, but an 8-0 run capped by Terrence John Fortea’s 3-pointer made it 64-61 with 7:15 left in the game.
But a series of sloppy plays by Batang Gilas allowed Argentina to go in front 74-68.
Still, the visitors had a chance to pull off an upset.
Fortea drilled another 3-pointer to make it 74-71, 21 seconds to go, but the Philippines’ comeback fell short after 3 successive misses from downtown.
Fortea finished with 17 points and 5 3-pointers, while Gerry Abadiano added 17 points of his own.
Kai Sotto tallied 13 points and 15 rebounds, coming off a disappointing game in a loss to France

LOS ANGELES - The New York Knicks still don't know when Kristaps Porzingis will return from a torn left knee ligament, but new coach David Fizdale already has plans for the tall, talented Latvian.
"It really is a luxury for me to have a guy that I can move around at different positions," Fizdale told reporters at summer league practice in Las Vegas on Thursday.
"I just see a lot of places I can use him to be dynamic for us," Fizdale said, according to Newsday.
Fizdale said he could play Porzingis at center, but could also use the 7-foot-3-inch Porzingis at small forward occasionally in a lineup that would give the Knicks "a whole bunch of wingspan."
Fizdale said he would travel to Latvia after summer league play ends to get to know his star.
"He's going to get tired of me but about two of those days over there we're going to watch film in Latvia because I got so much stuff I've broken down and pulled," Fizdale said.
"Stuff that Jeff (Hornacek) was already doing from the year before. Stuff that was similar where I can show him from his own film, 'Hey I'm going to use you this way' or 'I'm going to use you this way.'"
"At least I have some visual examples."
Fizdale, sacked by the Memphis Grizzlies last November, was hired by the Knicks in May after they missed the NBA playoffs for a fifth straight season.
He took over from Hornacek, who was fired at the conclusion of the Knicks 29-53 campaign.
Porzingis was already on the sidelines by then, after injuring his left knee when he landed after a dunk in a game against the Milwaukee Bucks in February.
He was averaging just under 23 points per game with 6.7 rebounds and 2.4 blocked shots and had been due to play in the All-Star Game.
MANILA - The Commission on Human Rights said it formed a team to investigate the alleged abuses of Makati City police officers who were caught on video laughing while drug suspects were subjected to a strip search.
“CHR has dispatched a Quick Response Team to investigate the incident. We will continue to be vigilant against abuses that affront the human dignity, especially of the vulnerable and marginalized,” Commissioner Gwendolyn Pimentel-Gana said in a statement.
Gana said the incident was alarming, given that a law against torture has already been passed.
“We urge the PNP to open a transparent investigation on the case, where perpetrators will be accountable beyond mere suspension from their duty for possibly violating RA 9745, Section 4 on acts of torture,” Gana said.
In video clips given to ABS-CBN News by a former anti-drug operative, drug suspects underwent a strip search inside Makati City police station, with male and female police officers smiling.
It reportedly took place inside the Drug Enforcement Unit of the Makati City police station around March 2017. Four police officers, including the DEU chief, appeared to be laughing during the procedure.
Makati City police chief Senior Supt. Rogelio Simon said an investigation was underway.

DAVAO CITY - Pinaghahanap ngayon ng awtoridad ang 64-anyos na Spanish national matapos na makatakas sa selda ng immigration office sa lungsod na ito noong Hunyo.
Nilagare ni Andres Garcia ang rehas sa bintana ng banyo ng selda sa ikatlong palapag at tumakas sa fire exit ladder, ayon kay Alien Control Officer Joseph Quizon.
Ayon sa mga kasamang detainee ni Garcia na nasa katabing selda, nakarinig sila ng malakas na paglagapak madaling araw noong Hunyo 12, pero hindi nila pinansin ito sa pag-aakalang nagwala lang ang banyaga.
May kasamang senior citizen si Garcia sa selda pero hindi niya narinig ang ginawang paglagare sa rehas na bakal dahil mahina na ang pandinig nito.
Una nang inireklamo ng pananampal sa Talaingod, Davao del Norte si Garcia.
Sa pagberipika ng BI, napag-alamang Nobyembre 2017 pa inilabas ang order of deportation nito dahil undocumented at overstaying na sa bansa.
Patuloy ang koordinasyon ng immigration sa kapulisan para mahanap ang tumakas na banyaga
