Characteristic of sports teams in major competitions and continuing under the most Mexican indecisiveness, the good demonstration given a day earlier against Mali, when at least lost and recovered from a 20-point deficit, faded against the now representative New Zealand. Despite being down 39-37 in the first half, they were never able to outscore them as they were outscored 72-55 in the third quarter. A strong comeback in the end, 98 to 81 against.
In the other games of the day, Spain continued their impressive run of form with a 71-35 win over Finland in what was a very embarrassing contest; Argentina has yet to show basketball prosabia with other representatives, losing 81-44 against a solvent Japan that is preparing to settle its group lead against the Spaniards. Finally, in the Mexico group, Italy continues to show its potential against the prosperous Mali with a score of 85-51, which does not look good for the Mexicans at the end of their group.
