Spain have finally secured passage to the Eight Finals in Istanbul with a comprehensive 91-57 victory over Lebanon. They now face Canada in their final pool game.While for the Asian wildcards, centre Jackson Vroman was excellent with 22 points and 9 rebounds.Lebanon threatened an upset early on, storming back from 13-6 down
behind 12 points and six rebounds – four offensive – in the first term
from centre Jackson Vroman to set up a 22-21 lead at quarter time.
Any hope Lebanon had though were dashed when, with scores level, Vroman
was called for a controversial foul with 4:56 remaining in the second
quarter, and then technical fouled for a brief reaction.
It was Vroman’s fourth foul, forcing him out of the game, and from
there Spain peeled off a 13-2 run to take a 43-32 lead at the main
break, with Gasol scoring six points in Vroman’s absence.
