Scola leads Argentina past Brazil to gain FIBA quarters
Basketball Betting Lines
09/07/2010 -
Istanbul, Turkey (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Luis Scola continued a blistering scoring
clip with 37 points on 14-of-20 shooting as Argentina edged Brazil, 93-89, to
gain a quarterfinal berth in a thrilling South American showdown at the 2010
FIBA World Championship.
Scola of the NBA's Houston Rockets leads the tournament with 30.3 points per
game and is knocking down 62 percent of his shots. He scored a dozen points in
the decisive fourth quarter, including 10 of the final 12 points for
Argentina.
Carlos Delfino of the Milwaukee Bucks added 20 points and hit 4-of-7 from
three-point range.
Argentina will take on Lithuania in the quarterfinals after its win over China
earlier Tuesday.
The Brazilians were led by Marcelo Huertas' 32 points and led at halftime,
48-46, in what was a tight game throughout. Huertas and then Delfino traded
buckets at the conclusion of the third quarter with the game tied at 66
moving to the fourth.
Leandro Barbosa of the Phoenix Suns gave Brazil a lift with back-to-back
three-pointers -- two of his five -- to open the final frame. Barbosa scored
20 points in all but it was Huertas who kept it close at the end.
Huertas recorded 10 points in the fourth and hit two free throws early on to
keep Brazil in front after Hernan Jasen dropped a pair of threes to answer
Barbosa.
The lead continued to change hands down the stretch as Jasen and Huertas
knocked down shots for their respective countries as the clock wound under six
minutes remaining.
The advantage was back in Brazil's hands, 81-79, on two Tiago Splitter free
throws with 3:15 left before Scola took over late.
Scola dropped in consecutive buckets to swing the momentum, and poured in
another two following a Brazil counter to get the margin to 89-84 with less
than 30 seconds remaining.
Splitter came back with a deuce to make it a one-possession game before
Delfino was able to sink two clutch free throws with under 10 seconds to play.
Huertas continued the excitement by nailing a three as time was about to
expire, cutting the lead to two. Scola, though, drew the quick foul and made
both at the line to wrap things up.
Linas Kleiza poured in 30 points and grabbed nine rebounds to lead
Lithuania in its 78-67 win over China. Martynas Gecevicius added 14 points
and Mantas Kalnietis chipped in 11 for Lithuania.
Liu Wei scored 21 points to lead China.
The Chinese opened a 22-17 lead after the first quarter, but Lithuania used a
23-10 run during the second and went to the break with a 43-40 edge. A three
by Liu pulled China even at 48-48 with just over seven minutes left in the
third quarter, but Gecevicius answered with a shot from beyond the arc to
ignite an 11-0 run for Lithuania.
Kleiza scored four during the burst, which gave Lithuania a 59-48 lead, and
the third quarter ended with a 64-51 cushion for the Lithuanians. China got as
close as five with just over five minutes left on a bucket by Wang ZhiZhi, but
Kleiza scored the next 10 points for Lithuania to extend the margin to 12 with
just over a minute remaining.
