PLAYING in front of a record crowd of 38,115 fans in his FIBA World Cup debut, Jordan Clarkson did all he could for the home team Philippines against the Karl-Anthony Towns-led Dominican Republic. Clarkson poured 28 points, seven rebounds and seven assists but his efforts went down the drain as the Dominicans escaped with an 87-81 triumph at the Philippine Arena. Just kind of upset we didn't come out with the win. Some things didn't go our way but we fought hard," said Clarkson, who shot 9-of-24 from the field. Like I said, some things didn't go our way toward the end.
