Spain lost by Brazil (88-82) after a very bad game in last period, when they lost by 16-31! They avoid USA in semifinals, but for sure they will not avoid the comments by the sports community in whole world. During first half they dominated under the basket with Gasol brothers and Ibaka. In the third period Spaniards had a lot of times 10 points lead, but in the last one Brazil was the only team that played basketball having as leader the Pacers’ guard, Leandro Barbosa.
Americans had a… party in the last game in groups by winning Argentina 126-97. In an enjoyable game, NBAers stepped on the accelerator in the second half and destroyed the South Americans who will find in the quarterfinals their neighbors Brazilians. The role of the biggest scorer had in this match for the Americans, Kevin Durant who came close (28 points by 8/10 three-pointers) to Carmelo Anthony’s performance in the game against Nigeria.
