Bahamas 102-Dominican Republic 91 (OT) (Johnson 28 (8x3), Barr 21+12reb, Henfield 20, Douglas 17+14reb, Hines 11+11ast, Hudson 2, Bain 1, M. Rolle 1, Hepburn 1; E. Fortuna 18+8ast, Paulino 18, J. Fortuna 15, Bonilla 14, Montas 12+9reb, Santana 6, Herrera 5, Ruiz 3)

 

With a 66-43 lead in the third quarter, it looked like the Dominicans would cruise to their first win of the tournament. But the Bahamas, led by the outside shooting of Mitchell Johnson and a great performance by Jeremy Barr, staged a stunning run to take the lead, and only a late three-pointer by Jose Fortuna sent the game into overtime. An 11-0 run midway through the extra period (85-85 to 96-85) gave the Bahamas their margin of victory.
