The Philippine men’s basketball team, which yielded the gold medal in the 2022 SEA Games that ended a 33-year rule, advanced to the finals of the men’s basketball competition.

Gilas Pilipinas finished 2-1 in the preliminaries, including a humbling loss to Cambodia, enough to reach the semifinal round.

It defeated Indonesia, the same team that beat Gilas Pilipinas in Hanoi, in the knockout semifinal to arrange a gold medal match against naturalized-laden Cambodia.

Men’s basketball is played in a revised format in SEA Games 2023, where the top two teams per group advance with the one-off semifinal and the gold medal disputed in a final match.

In the previous edition, teams played in a single-round robin with the best record team getting the gold.
