Wagi ang Gilas Pilipinas kontra sa Japan sa 2018 Asian Games sa Jakarta, Indonesia.
Tinambakan ng Gilas ang Japan sa score na 113-80 sa kanilang paghaharap kahapon.
Pinangunahan ng Fil-Am at Cleveland Cavaliers point guard na si Jordan Clarkson ang Pilipinas sa pamamagitan ng 22 points, 6 rebounds at 9 assists.
Magugunitang apat na player ng Japan ang agad pinauwi matapos matuklasan ng Japanese Olympic Committee na nagpasok sila ng mga prostitute sa kanilang hotel.
Samantala, sunod namang makakaharap ng Philippine national team ang Syria para sa 5th place.
