This captivating matchup sees Spain hitting the hoops against Puerto Rico. Now, you don't have to be a math wizard to see Spain's got some heavy hitters. Megan Gustafson and Leonor Rodriguez are tossing the orange around like it's going out of fashion, averaging 29.0 and 25.0 points respectively. Don't forget Queralt Casas either. She's proving to be the lifeline with her balanced game of 8.0 points, 7.0 rebounds and 8.0 assists per game.
Turning our attention to sunny Puerto Rico, we see Pamela Rosado and Mya Hollingshed providing stiff resistance, both averaging 8.0 points per game. But stats are just exaggerations, numbers dashed onto a whiteboard with dry erase markers. What really stands out is the tournament record – Spain bats a 1-0 while Puerto Rico is staring at the bottom of the barrel with 0-1.
Now, the recent results. Spain’s had a mixed bag —they beat China and Canada but took a dive against Australia. Puerto Rico, on the other hand, has been dicing with close shaves mostly losing the battle in the end. Spain stands like a titan at #2, whereas Puerto Rico is just managing to scrape by at #4 in Group A.
Taking into account the symphony of battle we've seen play out across the court, I’d bet my last penny—don’t actually have one, but you get the point—that Spain takes it home.
