ASIAN GAMES: Heartbreak for Philippines as China escapes with win in Clarkson's Gilas debut
Sorry loss for Gilas Pilipinas. The Philippines broke down in the final minute as China escaped with a pulsating 82-80 win in the 2018 Asian Games Tuesday at the GBK Basket Hall in Jakarta, Indonesia. Trailing for most of the game, Gilas looked like it was on its way to victory after taking an 80-77 lead with 1:23 to go following an undergoal stab from Stanley Pringle. However, that proved to be the last score for the Philippines as China took advantage of Gilas breaking down in multiple possession to steal the win. Zhou Qi first split his free throws with 1:12 to go to put China within two, 78-80. The Chinese then forced a turnover on Gilas that led to a fastbreak layup for Zhao Rui to tie the game at 80 in the last 46 seconds. Gilas had the chance to put the game away for good but Jordan Clarkson and Christian Standhardinger each missed decent attempts at the rim. Jordan then gave up a foul to Zhao and the Chinese guard ended up hitting two clutch free throws for the game's final tally. Paul Lee missed a final triple attempt for Gilas with six seconds to go as China completed its great escape. After a quick 5-0 start, Gilas trailed China for most of the game as Zhou Qi dominated on both ends of the floor. The 22-year-old Houston Rocket had 17 points, 8 rebounds, and 6 blocks at halftime. Zhou went on to finish with 25 points, 12 rebounds, and 7 blocks to lead the Chinese. Wang Zhelin added 13 points while Abudushalamu Abudurexiti scored 12 points. Game hero Zhao Rui had 11. Wang led the China offense to start the third as they tried to put Gilas away. However, Clarkson exploded for the Philippines, unloading 16 points including three straight triples that allowed Gilas to tie things up at 55. In the fourth, it was Abudurexiti's turn to dominate for the Chinese, helping the Great Wall re-establish a 10-point lead, 72-62. Clarkson went scoreless in the fourth and ultimately dealt with cramps. In his place, Paul Lee and Stanley Pringle went off to put the Philippines in position to win. Pringle beat Zhou at the rim to push Gilas within three, 71-74 with 4:21 to go. Lee then buried a tough three-pointer at the shotclock buzzer to tie the game at 74 about 45 seconds later.

Kobe Bryant on Ben Simmons' jump shot: 'I would say build that thing anew'
Kobe Bryant finished his career as one of the most lethal scorers in NBA history and he believes Ben Simmons has to make some changes if he is going to improve his impact on the offensive end. While Simmons has impressed in his rookie campaign with his playmaking, athleticism, scoring, passing and defense, his lack of mid-range shooting and even moreso three-point shooting has been the one area brought into question. In an appearance on the Chris and Caron show on Fox Sports Radio , the Lakers legend suggested that Simmons must rebuild the mechanics of his jump shot entirely, in order to become a threat from outside the paint. "Just aesthetically I would say build that thing anew," Bryant said. I don't think the game came down to that though." Simmons finished Game 2 with just one point and was reluctant to shoot the ball as the Celtics defense zeroed in on him. He bounced back in Game 3 with 16 points on 8-of-14 shooting from the field. The Celtics have been sagging off the Rookie of the Year contender all series and daring him to shoot, which has caused the Sixers offense to get clogged up inside. As you can see from Simmons' playoff shot chart, the Aussie's scoring has been mostly at the rim. The good news for Sixers fans is that Simmons is just 21 years old and in his first season in the league, so there's plenty of time and room for his game to grow.
