The Philippines have been woeful over the past week, although Andray Blatche has put in a series of excellent performances that continued in their latest defeat to Tunisia. The American born star managed 24 points in the 86-67 loss, while the Philippines' second-highest scorer (Troy Rosario) managed just 8 points.

Once again, Blatche shot well from the field despite being heavily guarded and connected with 10 of his 21 attempts. The 33-year-old also knocked down 3 of his 7 attempts from downtown and topped 10 rebounds for the third time in four games.

Blatche also managed a pair of steals and assists as the former Brooklyn Nets man demonstrated why he enjoyed a successful career in the NBA. Unfortunately, at 33, this is likely to be Blatche's final World Cup, and the Philippines must focus on developing young talent.
