The rollercoaster ride the Gilas team was on took its toll on the team, allowing Jordan to open up a staggering 18point lead in the second quarter, behind an offensive explosion from Rasheim Wright.
But the entry of Marcio Lassiter and Chris Lutz allowed the Nationals to gain their bearings as Lassiter scored 14 points on 4-10 threepointers and 1-4 FG.
The Nationals fought quarter by quarter, slowly erasing the Jordanian lead until they finally forged ahead. Marcus "Big Daddy" Douhtit came away with a stellar game, scoring 19points and grabbing 15 rebounds, while Jimmy Alapag added 11 points.
The Philippines moved just one slot down of Iran and China in the team standings.
