#FIBAAmericasWomen2015 – Cuba won the Caribbean battle in Group A

by: FIBA

EDMONTON (2015 FIBA Americas Women’s Championship) - Cuba defeated Puerto Rico, 65-58, in a very physical game and remained unbeaten in two games of the 2015 FIBA Americas Women’s Championship.

• Turning Point: Cuba created an 8-0 run in the middle of last quarter, opening their lead to 11 point over Puerto Rico.

• Stats don’t lie: The domain on the rebounding by the Cuban was key. The difference of 44-30 and 15-6 in offensive rebounds, for a team that showed its strength in the paint. 12 rebounds were for Clenia Noblet, who led the game.

• Game Hero: Yamara Amargo repeated the dose and scored 26 points, including four huge three-pointers in the important moments of the match.

• The Bottom Line: Although it was not the best demonstration of a Cuban team that allowed a physical play that affected their mental stability on the court, the defending champions won an important victory that increased their record to a 2-0 in Group A of the FIBA Americas Women’s Championship. Puerto Rico falls to a 0-2.
