Karl-Anthony Towns and Dominican Republic seize solo lead in Group A of the FIBA World Cup after pulling off an upset win over world No. 10 Italy
Towns said he had complete faith in his squad as the Dominican Republic pulled off an early upset in the FIBA World Cup, hacking out an 87-82 win over powerhouse Italy in Group A at Araneta Coliseum on Sunday, October 27.
“My confidence never wears. My confidence never wears in my country. I know we can do anything we set our minds to. Just got to put the work in,” said the Minnesota Timberwolves big man. But the Dominicans turned the tides and even led by as many as 17 points thanks to a pair of scintillating performances from Towns and guard Andres Feliz.
Dominican Republic also proved steady in the endgame, warding off the Italians’ comeback as Golden State Warriors guard Lester Quiñones sank the win-sealing free throws.
