Following two days of non-stop action in Spain at the 2014 FIBA World Cup, This day will prove a bit of a reprieve for some teams. While there are still more than enough games to fill your entire day, half of the 24-team field gets a day off to relax in the Spanish-like sun.   

Continuing his all-around brilliant tournament, Luis Scola attained a game-high 19 points in the 85-81 win. The Philippines had multiple opportunities in the last minute to tie the game or go ahead, but an ill-timed turnover from Jayson Williams and two missed threes from Andray Blatche clinched their fate.

Blatche, whose decision-making on the threes could have been better, finished with 14 points and 15 rebounds. He's been the star of a surprisingly competitive effort from the Filipinos, who have lost their three games by a total of 19 points. Ranidel De Ocampo scored a team-high 18 points and Jim Alapag knocked down five threes off the bench in the loss.

Expected to be one of the teams cut from Group B after a blowout loss to Greece in the opener, the Senegalese are now in a good position with two straight wins. They were helped along in their effort later in the afternoon by Argentina, which continued it's less-than-stellar play but was able squeak by for a close win over the Philippines.

France also didn't need much effort to earn an overwhelming 94-55 triumph over Egypt. Every French player scored at least a basket, while the starters spent most of their afternoon on the bench. Egypt, led by Ibrahim Elgammal with 12 points, made less than one-third of its shots.

The Philippines will need to defeat Puerto Rico and Croatia in back-to-back days if it hopes to advance. Argentina, which got 17 points from Marcos Mata off the bench, should be through and may now have a chance to take Group B thanks to Croatia's loss.
