Ooops! Puerto Rico got too cocky for its own good.
Ooops! Puerto Rico got too cocky for its own good.
Puerto Rico lost its first Centrobasket game against Trinidad & Tobago due to its total lack of defense against a T&T team that didn't have anything to lose. Carlos Arroyo had 24 points and PJ Ramos and Renaldo Balkman had 17 each but no one else showed up. 16 of 29 at the free throw line, 32 rebounds to T&T's 46 total (including 18 offensive rebounds) and 18 turnovers by PR made it very hard for them to overcome. The rebound department was crucial, PJ Ramos and Balkman each had 9 each (which isn't much) but Ricky Sanchez had 1 rebound and Nathan Peavy had 3 (which isn't much help). Filiberto Rivera and JJ Barea had 9 points each while playing 28 and 34 mins respectively. On the other hand David Huertas played only 15 mins and had 6 points and 3 rebounds (which is decent for so little time). Also, no one was making the 3 point shots but James Life (which is a long range specialist) only got 1 min of playing time. I think Manolo Cintron did not coach a good game.
