Clarkson Notches 25 in Quarterfinals Loss to South Korea

For the second straight game, Cavaliers guard Jordan Clarkson excelled with the Philippines men's national team, scoring 25 points against South Korea in the quarterfinals of the 2018 Asian Games in Jakarta, Indonesia. However, it was the second straight loss the Philippines suffered in heart-breaking fashion - falling to SK, 92-82, despite leading midway through the fourth quarter.

The Philippines lead by eight in the final frame but South Korea worked their way back into the contest with a hot-hand from the three-point line, which helped them go on a 13-4 run in the final minutes of the contest.
