Pasig TNT failed to qualify for the main draw of the 2023 FIBA 3X3 World Tour Macau Masters after getting outclassed in one of their games at Macau New Urban Zone on Saturday.
Despite beating Doha Expo in overtime, 21-19, the nationals suffered a crushing 22-14 defeat against Ulaanbaatar MMC Energy.
Ulaanbaatar then beat Doha, 20-17, which meant the Mongolians advanced to the main draw.
Serbian import Marko Dugosija led a 6-0 surge for the Mongolians to break a 12-12 tie against the Filipinos and seize control of the game.
Almond Vosotros sank a basket from long range with 1:19 left, but back-to-back shots by Otgonjargal Tsogt and Dugosija secured the win for Ulaanbaatar.
Against Doha, Pasig TNT gained a 19-11 lead with 3:48 remaining.
But Doha managed to fight its way back, with Nedim Muslic knocking down a tough shot with 10 seconds remaining to force overtime.

But Ulaanbatar was simply too much for Doha in the following game of the qualifiers.
Pasig TNT, which ended up with a 1-1 record, finished in 11th place among 12 teams.
