Eric Gordon’s late barrage of threes pushes Bahamas past Argentina, 82-75, and into next July’s Olympic Qualifiers

Congratulations to the Bahamas National Team on the biggest win in team history after a great run all week, led by NBA players Deandre Ayton, Eric Gordon, and Buddy Hield.

The Phoenix Suns center grabbed 21 boards in what looked much more like what I was expecting going into the first game against Argentina; a tough group that’s established and connected with each other who plays hard for all 40 minutes. That tough group did enough early to give themselves a 7-2 start, 26-22 first quarter, and 42-42 halftime score.

Ayton’s shot struggled similarly to Saturday’s performance, missing seven of his eight first-half shot attempts.
