The Dominican Republic men's basketball team defeated Jamaica yesterday 80-64, advancing in the Centrobasket tournament now taking place in Puerto Rico. As occurred in their first win against Mexico, the DR team had a slow start but as the game advanced it was clear that the Dominican Republic was the stronger of the two teams. In the game, Atlanta Hawks' Al Horford netted 23 points - 10 rebound double-double. Manuel Fortuna Lara and Juan Coronado were the Dominican Republic's second-highest scorers with 19 points each. Earlier the DR had defeated Mexico, for the two wins in Group B. Jamaica now has two wins (against Costa Rica and US Virgin Islands) and one loss to the DR.
