The 105–61 win over the Philippines gives China significant momentum going into their next game. The dominant margin will boost confidence, while their strong offensive production and defensive control showed that they can dictate the pace against quality opposition. China can carry that confidence forward, but will need to maintain the same intensity and avoid complacency against their next opponent.
