This will be a tough loss to bounce back from for India. Throwing away a huge 24-point lead will be difficult to bounce back from, given that there are two more matches to go. The remaining games are extremely critical now, with India needing to win both if they want to advance to the next round.
Amjyot Singh, in his first game back for the team, played well with 23 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists but he couldn't do it alone. India just couldn't get any offense going in the second half and while you could still live with that, they allowed Cameroon to score at will as well.
After scoring 27 in the first quarter and then 36 in the second quarter, India only accumulated 24 in the ENTIRE second half. Yes, you read that right. Not only did they struggle to score, their defense slid as well, giving up 57 points.
Looks like India has lost the plot. After scoring 27 in the first quarter alone, they have failed to score that many in the entire second half! Cameroon extend their lead to 3 (86-83)
Cameroon is carrying their third-quarter momentum to the fourth quarter. In a short time, they have already outscored the Indians 14-7, bringing the gap down to just 7 points (76-83).
And that's the end of the third quarter. India have taken a beating but still, hold a 14-point lead. Will they hold fort to win the game or is this game a tale of two halves and will Team India collapse under pressure?
So far, Cameroon has outscored India 23-13 in the third quarter. They still have 14 points they have to makeup but they've certainly made things interesting with their run.
Aravind Annadurai joins Amjyot, Joginder, and Joseph in double-figure points. He now has 11 for the game. India still holds a huge 68-42 lead midway through the third quarter.
It's HALFTIME and India's carrying a comfortable 24-point lead to the locker room. The biggest difference maker has been Amjyot Singh, who's recorded 14 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists and a team-high +24 in his 20 minutes of play. He's had a good supporting cast, led by guards Justin Joseph and Joginder Singh who have combined for 25 points.
