Argentina beats Angola at basketball worlds
Updated: August 30, 2010, 4:16 PM
KAYSERI, Turkey (AP) - Luis Scola scored 32 points to help Argentina beat Angola 91-70 on Monday, essentially securing its place in the second round of the World Championships.
Scola scored 17 of Argentina's 23 points in the first quarter as the South Americans built a three-point lead. The Houston Rockets power forward finished the first half with 21 points as Argentina (3-0) took a 45-32 lead into the break.
It was still a five-point game in Argentina's favor at the end of the third, but Carlos Delfino and Scola then took over to secure the South Americans' win. Delfino, who plays for the Milwaukee Bucks, finished with 22 points.
Joaquim Gomes had 16 for Angola (1-2).
