More basketball as New Zealand would have revenge in mind as they tangled with South Korea in qualifying action. The South Koreans beating the Tall Blacks twice at this year's FIBA Asia Cup.
Pick things up in the third quarter, Kim Jong-kyu work the pick and roll. That gives the Koreans a 6-point edge.
And a triple in transition keeps them in front.
The Kiwis would stay close thanks to Corey Webster's outside shooting. He had 16.
And his brother Tai, is able to get to the cup in transition, and he finishes with 14.
Off to the fourth now, and the team in Black, hit again from the outside, Jarrod Kenny's three-ball putting his side up two.
The South Koreans would go back in front. Lee Jung-hyun giving his side a 4-point lead.
Jeon Jun-Beom would nail 6-three-pointers and have 22, as his side lead by 5.
Then Oh Se-keun goes baseline for the reverse, as South Korea hold on for an 86-80 win and face China next.
