Intern.) scored 20 points in limited playing time and Rick Apodaca
(192-G-80, college: Hofstra) matched his total with 20 off the bench. Puerto
Rico's offense was again unstoppable, shooting 62% (39/63) from the field.
Thomas Gillespie (204-F/C-74, agent: Price Rhonda, college: Regis) and Pablo
Trigueno fought hard for Guatemala, but they were unable to match their
strong performance of Tuesday. Puerto Rico moves to 2-0 and clinches a
semifinal berth along with the Dominican Republic.

Dominican Republic won their Centrobasket opener against a
tougher-than-expected Guatemalan team. The DR closed a very tight first half
with a 12-4 run to lead 37-30 at the break. The Dominicans extended the lead
to 55-42 and looked on the verge of pulling away, but Guatemala, through a
spectacular shooting performance from Joaquin Ortiz (6 second-half
three-pointers) pulled to 60-55 early in the fourth quarter. A pair of
three-pointers from Henry Lalane finally broke the Guatemalan momentum, and
a strong second-half showing from Carlos Payano kept Guatemala at bay. Jose
"Grillo" Vargas scored 15 points, mostly in the first half, in his return to
the national team. Guatemala can be proud of their showing, but will need
better shooting from Thomas Gillespie and Juan Pablo Trigueno (combined
9/31) against Puerto Rico and the Bahamas.
