FIBA World Cup 2019: Top 5 individual performances from Day 5

#4 Andray Blatche – Philippines

Andray Blatch impressed for the Philippines despite his nation's failure to pick up a win in Group D

The Philippines ended their World Cup campaign winless after falling in overtime to Angola. Yanick Moreira, Reggie Moore, and Valdelicio Joaquim combined for 44 points for the winners, although Andray Blatche’s fine solo performance was almost enough to send the Philippines home with a World Cup win.

Blatche’s importance to his nation was highlighted by the fact that he featured for a full 13 minutes longer than any of his teammates, and the veteran once again led his team in points (23). Blatche also managed to grab 12 rebounds – 3 of which were on the opposition's glass.

For the first time in the tournament, Blatche recorded more turnovers (4) than assists (2), although the American-born star made up for it on the defensive end by managing 4 steals and a block.
