Philippines were taken to the cleaners by Italy and it was difficult for them to find a way back as they lost 62-108. They will find it difficult against a side like Serbia to get back to winning ways.
Serbia on the other hand showed why they are rated so highly when they demolished Angola in their first game by 105-59. They will look to dominate this game as well.
