Leslie 2, Garnett 0, Sanchez 0, Fuller 2, Carter 14, Jones 0, Garcia 3)

games they played a strong first half, but tired in the second half
against better-conditioned opponents.

Day 1
In the first games seems that Puerto Rico and Cuba are
the main favorites. But Panama and Dominican Rep. could be dangerous
too.
Panama 64(27) - Mexico 52(26) (Gomez 19, Cardenas 12, Garcia
10 - Portillo 15, Castellanos 10)
Mexican NT falls to Panama 52-64 in their first game of Centrobasket
in Cuba.
The Mexicans let an 8 point advantage go away at the begining of the
second period to allow a 13-1 run for Panama at the game played on May
4. Mexico started with 17-year old Omar Quintero at the point, but was
quickly substituted by veteran Oscar Castellanos, giving Mexico more
mobility. Both teams' defenses were close, as the first half finished
with a score of 27-26 for Panama. Mexico moved ahead, putting the score
46-40 in their favor, but a 13-1 run by Panama closed the score for
them.
