#### Semifinals

The Thais opened the semifinals against the Philippines with an 11-point lead at halftime, the first time in the tournament that the Filipinos found themselves trailing at that point. Almond Vosotros scored on several three-pointers to help the Philippines trim the deficit. Kiefer Ravena scored on a three-point shot of his own with 16.5 seconds remaining in the game to advance to the gold medal game.
In their semifinal, Mario Wuysang led indonesia to a 12-point lead at halftime. The Singaporeans were frustrated by poor shooting. At the start of the third quarter, Indonesia lead increased to 19 points. However, Desmond Oh was taken out of the game due to a suspected concussion, and Singapore never had a fourth quarter run that saw Indonesia winning the game to face the Philippines for the gold medal.
