Nicolas Bruno Martin was the best scorer of Argentina with 14 points followed by Federico Martina 11 while of the other side Osmani Uriarte  scored 10 points, Javier Jimenez Scull and Rolando Cepeda 9 each.

Rodolfo Luis Sanchez Sanchez, Cuba coach: “We knew we were ahead of a very hard game. Not only because of how well Argentina is playing but also because of what we went through this last few days. It’s been a never-ending journey from Canada to Argentina. The team went on to the court with good spirit, but we failed too much and that’s unforgivable against a team like Argentina.”

Julio Velasco, Argentina coach: “Keeping in mind all the problems Cuba had – our team played well. We had good serving, put pressure on the opponent’s reception, we had an active defence, a solid block and a fine attack. We came from a tournament in Colombia and that has us tired as well, but we played at a good level anyway. Tomorrow it’s going to be completely different – a much more difficult game.
