With four minutes to go in the third period, a brawl broke out between the Philippines and Australia.
After the commotion settled and reviews were done, four players from the Boomers were ejected.

Thon Maker, Nathan Sobey, Daniel Kickert, and Chris Goulding were thrown out for the Boomers.
For Gilas, Andray Blatche, Jayson Castro, Terrence, Romeo, Calvin Abueva, RR Pogoy, Troy Rosario, Japeth Aguilar, Matthew Wright, and Carl Bryan Cruz were ejected for disqualifying fouls, leaving Gabe Norwood, June Mar Fajardo, and Baser Amer to fend of themselves.
The game naturally ended with an Australia win by default after Norwood and Fajardo fouled out. Final score was 89-53, leaving 1:57 on the clock in the third period.
