Smart Gilas of the Philippines won against the home team of Chinese Taipei to bag the 3rd place finish in the 2011 Jones Cup, 72-82. Gilas exploited the height of Marcus Douthit in the paint and the slow start of the Taipei team to lead by 9 at the half. Pretty much in control, Gilas led by as much as 22 after an alley-oop by Japeth Aguilar from Marcio Lassiter at the fourth.
Smart Gilas played with point guard J.V. Casio sitting on the bench due to injury. The win was after the 78-59 defeat from the Haddadi-led Iranian team in the semifinal match which denied the Philippine team of the bid for the 2011 Jones Cup title.
