The former NBA veteran had a relatively decent statline of 15 points, 10 rebounds, two assists, and two steals in 30 and a half minutes for Gilas Men, but he committed nine turnovers in the loss.
"No excuses," he further tweeted.
He then vowed to perform better against Serbia in a do-or-die showdown on Monday night.
"I owe better to all of you," he concluded.
