throws, the U.S. converted 26 of 41 charity tries. The USA D forced 27 turnovers and
converted them into 27 points, and the U.S. was credited with 16 blocked shots. All was not good news however.
The U.S. suffered a major blow when Giles got caught between two Argentine defenders on a drive in the first quarter, suffered a left knee injury and missed the remainder of the tournament. “The injury to Harry, it’s one of
those things in basketball you hate to see. But, I think our kids are going to rally around Harry a little bit and hope- fully we can keep positive about it. He's still very much a part of this team.”

the USA outpaced Bahamas 121-52. With the win, the U.S. not only clinched the top seed out of Group A for the medal semifinals, but also earned a qualifying berth to the 2014 FIBA U17 World Championship as all four medal semifinalists advanced to the U17 Worlds. All 11 healthy members of the USA
team scored, including a total of six in double digits as Tatum put up 17 points to go with three assists and four steals; Giddens notched the game’s lone double- double with 14 points and 10 rebounds; Stone just missed out on a double-double as he scored 14 and grabbed nine car- oms; King produced 11 points, six rebounds and four assists; while Rabb contributed 10 points, seven rebounds and had a game-high six blocked shots. “Bahamas came ready to play,” said
Showalter. “As it goes, our depth paid off over the course of the game. I give Bahamas a lot of credit. I thought they hung in there and really used their abilities to score. From that standpoint, they did a nice job.” Newman, who notched his 26 points
in just 20 minutes, hit a stellar 11-of-13 from the field and recorded four steals. Rabb got the U.S. started off by
putting back his own miss at 9:30 and by the 6:42 mark, the U.S. was up 13-4. Leading 13-8, the USA closed the
quarter with a 10-4 scoring run to surge ahead 23-12 at the end of the first stanza. “We came out flat,” admitted
Woods, who scored six points, dished out a game-high seven assists, grabbed three rebounds and had three steals. “But, all we needed was to pick up our intensity and play smart and aggressive like coach always says. We turned it up in the second.” The USA’s defensive effort was
turned up a notch in the second quarter. Following a King put-back, Ferguson picked a Bahamian’s pocket and convert- ed it into two points to up the score to 27-12. Bahamas countered with a 3- pointer, but was held scoreless while the U.S. reeled off 11 consecutive points as the game began to tilt heavily in favor of the stars and stripes, 38-12, with almost six minutes to play before halftime. During the first four minutes of the
second quarter, the USA blocked four shots, forced Bahamas into shooting 1-of-6 from the field and coughing up
