The FIBA Asia Championship 2013 quarterfinal picture is slowly shaping up following Jordan's 65-56 victory Japan and the gutsy win by Qatar over Chinese Taipei 71-68 at the Mall of Asia Arena on Wednesday. (Results for August 7 Games)
Fresh from a 10-point loss to the host country Philippines on Tuesday, Aug 6, Qatar came out on fire against a previously undefeated Chinese Taipei to force a triple-way tie for the first place in Group E. Philippines, Qatar and Chinese Taipei each have identical 4-1 card, but the Philippines can secure the top spot later on with a victory against Hong Kong because of its better quotient over their two group rivals.
