In men's basketball, South Korea cruised past the Philippines 91-to-82 to reach the final four.
Ricardo Ratliffe, a U.S.-born center with South Korean citizenship, scored 30 points during the game.
Philippines had a NBA player on the court in the form of Filipino-American guard Jordan Clarkson, but his one-man show wasn't enough to overcome South Korea.

In bowling on Monday, South Korea picked up two silvers and two bronze medals on the alley,... wrapping up the bowling competition with two medals of each color.
Park Jong-woo and Lee Yeon-ji captured silvers in the men's and women's Masters respectively.
In Palembang, the co-host city,… the unified Korean men's dragon boat racing team grabbed bronze in the one-thousand-meter race,… completing a historic run that included a gold and a bronze by the unified women's team a day earlier.
