Taiwan Blue lost again to South Korea's Wonju DB at the William Jones Cup, a bad result for a short-handed squad that is still hanging on to a semifinal spot.

• Taiwan Blue lost 76-87, its third straight defeat, with Lan Shao-fu leading the team with 18 points.
• The roster is badly thinned out — four listed players still have not suited up, guard Yu Ai-che went home to Japan after an eye injury, and naturalized big man Kao Po-kai left after four minutes with back trouble.
• Blue clawed back from a 13-point first-quarter hole and trailed by only four at halftime, then ran out of offense after the break.
• The numbers tell the story: 15 fewer rebounds, seven fewer three-pointers, and 14 turnovers.
• Wonju DB hit 16 threes on the way to a fourth straight win and first place in the group.

Outlook: At 1-3 and third in the group, Taiwan Blue has already clinched a semifinal berth but needs bodies back before the knockout round.
