Gilas Pilipinas wins tuneup after Jordan team walks out in 4th quarter

The second tune-up game between Gilas Pilipinas and Jordan was stopped near the halfway mark of the fourth quarter after the Jordanian national team walked out.

Gilas was ahead 82-73 with 6:26 left when Jordan head coach Joey Stiebing called out the rest of his team to head out of the court.

Stiebing and Gilas coach Yeng Guiao got into a heated exchange before the walk out happened.
