Date: August 31, 2008
Final: Puerto Rico resisted a big preassure of the final and got easy victory over U.S. Virgin Islands 87-70. It came as a big surprise especially after Puerto Ricans struggled in the semifinal game against Dominican Rep. securing just 2-point victory (76-74). This time Jose Juan Barea got some rest (15 points), while Puerto Rico was lead by Carmelo Lee (21 + 6reb). Six players scored double digits for the winners.\ Carlos Arroyo adedd another 15 and grabbed 6 rebounds, Angelo reyes ended with 12 and Filiberto Rivera and Luis Silva had 11 points each. At Virgin Islands side Cuthbert Victor tried his best with 24 points and 12 rebs. He got some help from Kitwana Rhymer (16) and Jason Edwin (15). Puerto Rico definitely deserve the title as (except semifinal game) they were the only undefeated team over the entire tournament.
