World Champs: NZ Vs France
NZ finished pool play strongly with a solid win over France 82-70 pushing them into 3rd spot in group D.
Kirk Penney once again top scored for the Kiwi's with 25 points and Mika Vukona chimed in with a solid 6 rebounds and 15 points including 2 from 2 beyond the arc.
The Tall Blacks lead for most of the match but France were always within striking distance until the last couple of minutes of the fourth quarter.
Bokolo top scored for France with 13 points.
Highlight play for me was when Tom Abercrombie got up and blocked Borris Diaw in the paint.
Lets hope the Tall Blacks can carry the momentum of 3 wins in a row into the next round and send someone home.
