The Latvian team defeated the Puerto Rican team “Mayaguez” with the result 20:15.

Both teams made many mistakes, but the Latvian team played more convincingly and was able to protect the advantage that was gained at the beginning of the game.

After precise long-range shots by Mieža and Krūmiņš, the Latvian team achieved a four-point lead. For the rest of the game, “Rīgas” basketball players played with quick passes, playing the ball to free long shots or shots from the bottom of the basket.

The first game in the main tournament “Riga” will be played at 20.40 Latvian time, with the Russian team “Runa”.

“Rīga”, which is sown with the first number in the tournament, started the competition from the qualifying round, because the ticket to this tournament was won in Perm in the “Quest” level tournament, where he won the third place.
