Belarus against Latvija 96 - 114 (44874)Third game of the first phase, we face Latvija (46). We go out for all, hence the greatest effort. To lose was to be eliminated and sadly it has been like that. Latvija has been superior.
It cost us to get into the game. Latvija started strong and soon got 4 points up. Advantage that we get to reduce to 1 point. After that Latvija endorses a partial 10 - 0 after which we asked for time out. There was no reaction and we finished the fourth 19 - 27.
Latvija got his maximum lead of 11 points after the first period. But we did not give up and we got to be 42 - 44 with 3 minutes to rest. Advantage with which we went to the locker room after a Zyranau buzzerbeater: 45 - 52. This room we won by 4 difference.
The second half started fatal for us. Latvija makes us 9 - 0 to get away on the scoreboard. We never got close and had 14 points maximum advantage several times during the quarter. Complicated for us that we ended up with a result of 70 - 83.
The final period was totally of Latvija with advantages of 20 points to finish with 96 - 114.
In the end, painful defeat in a game that we expected something more. We have to keep working and wait for our opportunities. Latvija has been a great rival, very hard. Now we must move on.
