2013 FIBA Asia Championship Group B

Group B of the 2013 FIBA Asia Championship took place from 1 to 3 August 2013. This is the preliminary round of the 2013 FIBA Asia Championship, with the three teams with the best records advance to 2013 FIBA Asia Championship Group E.

The competing teams are Hong Kong, Japan and Qatar. Lebanon originally qualified for the tournament, but was replaced by 2013 Gulf Basketball Championship fourth-placer United Arab Emirates after the former was suspended indefinitely by FIBA Asia due to internal squabbles in its national basketball federation.[1] FIBA Asia eventually decided not to issue a replacement.[2] This caused the remaining teams to qualify automatically to the second round.

Summary

Qatar and Japan fought to a close opening game, which was won by the Qataris after Jarvis Hayes split his free throws with eight seconds remaining to provide the winning margin. The two teams then easily won over Hong Kong. All three teams qualified to the second round.
