LOL, so you are implying that Uruguay lost a 6 point win game by the DR, becuase of a mistake

Nothing against you Lewis but yeah this game was decided by one or two possessions in the stretch run (figuratively a six-point swing or something like that)

The final game would have done justice to how close it was if it was a buzzer beater of sorts--- apparently Uruguay just did not have the same composure as the streaking Dominicans in that last couple of minutes.

The play i remember most was when the game was tied at 72 apiece (give or take a few) and DR was pressuring all the way and Uruguay turned it over. What happened next was a quick lay-up from Garcia i believe. Even then they had a chance for a tie or lead but never executed well and DR finished it off with good free throw shooting.

Urugay got a little talent relative to DR for sure, but for 95 per cent of this ball game they executed to perfection--- on top of quick threes that you may consider "lucky" and "just their night"... Too bad really, it was what you'd call gold turning to garbage because of one or two bungled plays...

not one or two possesions
the game was decided in the last 4 minutes where Uruguay played the worst kind of basketball ever

But even at that time they still had the lead or close to it! Even then, they had a chance to win it (and lose it). But if you had to point out one or two key plays or one or two crucial plays--- that was it!

The crucial argument here is that the game did not reflect in the final score--- and if you'd even consider the way they played for MOST of the game you'd even say Uruguay was a bit dominating DR on this one... Well, up to the point when they choked and DR had that seething run. But the point is, give credit to the Uruguayans because they WERE playing well until DR forced them to play reaaall bad...

I want to state how big Uruguay collapse was.

Uruguay lost the game cuz of 4 minutes full of mistakes

This reminds me of when they were playing in the 2007 Pan American Games against Brazil. The Uruguayans were playing so well except in the end.

That, we can agree on

[JGX]

I guess we will count up the wins after the second stage is complete.

We didn't even have to wait until the end of the stage.

the commentator kept saying referee mistakes like domicans pushing uruguay players and francesco garcia,s steal in the last minutes on the inbound pass should,ve been called as a violation from garcia as he stepped too close to the inbound passer on the steal ....was the commentator right on thesse ? for any1 who watched the game ......

yes his right

Wasn't expecting such a strong game out of Uruguay. 40-33 for them at half time Prêt immobilier. Dominican Republic can't afford to lose this game, dropping to 1-3 with Puerto Rico still on the schedule would be disastrous.
