Panamerican Games

Finals Game 5: USA - DOMINICAN REPUBLIC 94-92

Date: October 30, 2011
With the bronze medal secured, the players rushed to mid court to celebrate. There, the United States men's basketball team joined the players from the Dominican Republic, dancing together and hugging each other as the Mexican crowd cheered. "I overcame tears, because that was a special moment," U.S. coach Nate Tibbetts said after his team beat the Dominicans 94-92 for bronze at the Pan American Games. "It's brotherhood. It's fellowship." Lance Thomas scored a team-high 14 points Sunday to give the Americans their best finish at the games since a silver in Winnipeg in 1999. The bronze was a disappointing result for a U.S. team trying to win the Pan American gold for the first time since 1983, but the players who were put together just a few weeks before the tournament said they are leaving Guadalajara glad to have learned from the experience. "We enjoyed it and it's going to be something that we will remember for the rest of our lives," U.S. guard Justin Dentmon said. Thomas said the mutual celebration at the end of the match showed how much the Americans embraced the spirit of the Pan Am Games. "It was amazing, was special to be able to celebrate together afterwards," he said. "They started and we just got in there together. The fans appreciated us being there." (Courtesy of www.sportsillustrated.cnn.com) Lance Thomas led the winners in scoring with 14 points. Marcus Lewis (7 rebs) and Justin Dentmon (5 as) helped USA with 12 points each. On the other side, Dominicans got 25 points and 9 rebounds from Elys Manuel Guzman. Their second scorer was Jack Michael Martinez with 21 pts (9 rebs) and Juan Coronado stopped to 13 pts in this meeting (5 rebs). Quarters: 30-28, 21-17, 17-23, 26-24. Puerto Rico won the Gold in Guadalajara.
