Spain Heads To Semi-Finals After Beating Croatia 72-59

Posted by Jeff Sack under Slam Dunk Olympics Central 

Pau Gasol led all scorers Wednesday as he recorded a double-double, and Spain hung on to defeat Croatia 72-59. The win will send Spain on to the semi-finals where they will face Croatia. Spain basically won the game by building a substantial lead in the first quarter, and playing well enough the rest of the contest to keep the lead and get the victory. The Croatians trailed at the end of the first quarter 22-11, and though they kept pace with the Spaniards for the rest of the game, they never got over the hump. Gasol scored 20 points, grabbed 10 boards, 3 blocks, 2 assists, 1 steal. Marko Banic led Croatia with 15 points, 5 rebounds, 1 block, 1 assist, 1 steal.
