If I had to make a prediction, I would say Spain is on their way to Gold Medal in the World Basketball Championships starting on August 28th in Turkey. Undefeated in friendly game play, Spain last night defeated Brazil during the last day at the Logroño Basketball Tournament. It was a team effort once again both offensively and defensively. Next on Spain’s agenda is Lithuania and Team USA during the final week of preparation for the World Championships!
