Austin vows to 'shake back' on QF duel against Blatche's Kashgar

Isaiah Austin, in a tweet, said he will "shake back next game," following the 87-66 victory of Iran's Petrochimi against Chooks-to-Go Pilipinas, Tuesday night at the 2017 FIBA Asia Champions Cup in China.

We are fighting against the odds out here. Loving our fight. We're playing for a bigger purpose. Shake back next game. #Puso 💙🇵🇭

The defeat gave Chooks-to-Go a 2-2 record for the group phase of the tournament, enough to setup a quarterfinals match against China's Kashgar which is led by Andray Blatche.

Austin and Ravena were the only PHL players who scored in double digits with 20 apiece.

Meanwhile, Iran's Willie Warren, whom Austin described with a hastag "#DallasFinest," led Petrochimi with 30.

My brother Willie Warren STILL a problem. Always good to hoop against someone you grew up with. #DallasFinest
