Narrow win for Bahamas

Jamaica’s senior men’s basketball team suffered a narrow 99-96 defeat to The Bahamas in the FIBA Americas World Cup Qualifier at the National Indoor Sports Centre last night. The Jamaicans, known as the JamRockerz, had only themselves to blame for the loss after leading 81-77 at the end of the third quarter. They struggled badly in the final period, committing several turnovers that the Bahamians capitalised on to secure the comeback victory.
