The Philippines has bowed out of quarterfinals contention in the 2015 Fiba 3×3 U18 World Championship in Hungary.

The four-man team of Kobe Paras, who is competing in his second 3-on-3 stint after participating in the previous edition, Mike Nieto, Richard Escoto and Ricci Rivero, suffered back-to-back setbacks to Russia and Uruguay.

The Filipinos got whipped by Russia, 21-9, before Uruguay pulled the plug on their bid, 19-13.
