Tall Blacks lose to Turkey
Created on September 1, 2014
The New Zealand basketball team have lost their first game of the 2014 World Championships being held in Spain.
The Tall blacks lost 76-73 to Turkey after leading by 10 points halfway through the final quarter
However, a technical foul by the coach and then some poor decision let the Turkish team into the game and take the lead.
Corey Webster led New Zealand with 22 points, while Rob Loe made a strong contribution starting at centre, with 11 points including three three pointers.
The game started with controversy after the Turkish team turned their backs on the New Zealand haka.
Their next game for the Tall Blacks against the Dominican Republic, who were beaten 72-62 by Ukraine‘ tomorrow morning.
The Talls Blacks have been beaten by Turkey 76-73 and Corey Webster led New Zealand with 22 points, while Rob Loe made a strong contribution starting at centre, with 11 points on their first game.
I reckon that the Turks who beat the Tall Blacks should then have to play against Michael Jordan’s old team, The Chicago Bulls. The Bulls would beat them by heaps.
