Semifinals

The Thais opened the semifinals against the Philippines with an 11-point lead at halftime, the first time in the tournament that the Filipinos found themselves trailing at that point. Almond Vosotros scored on several three-pointers to help the Philippines trim the deficit. Kiefer Ravena scored on a three-point shot of his own with 16.5 seconds remaining in the game to advance to the gold medal game.

In their semifinal, Mario Wuysang led indonesia to a 12-point lead at halftime. The Singaporeans were frustrated by poor shooting. At the start of the third quarter, Indonesia lead increased to 19 points. However, Desmond Oh was taken out of the game due to a suspected concussion, and Singapore never had a fourth quarter run that saw Indonesia winning the game to face the Philippines for the gold medal.

Bronze medal match

Singapore caught up with the Thais tying the game anew early in the fourth quarter at 41-all. The teams traded baskets, but Singapore converted several free-throws to seize a 5-point lead.

Gold medal match

Earlier in the tournament, the Philippines defeated Indonesia 81–52. The Filipinos started the game with a 7-point lead in the first quarter, and controlled the game until Indonesia had a 9–1 run midway through the fourth quarter to cut the lead to three. Ravena scored on a dunk to restore the five-point lead, and Mark Belo converted a couple of free-throws late in the fourth quarter to win the country's 29th gold medal in 2015 games, and the 17th gold medal out of 18 men's basketball tournaments.
