Mexico, with the presence of José Israel Gutiérrez Zermeño from Hidalgo, left their unbeaten record yesterday in Washington DC.
After three consecutive wins in the FIBA Americas qualifier for the 2023 World Cup, the 12 Warriors succumbed 89-67 on their visit to the United States, which also snatched the lead from Group D.
Although both are tied, with seven units, those of the Stars and Stripes have a difference of +35, for the +1 of the tricolors.
The match practically settled in the first two quarters, in which the locals had 24-14 and 24-7, which left the bright 48-21 at halftime and, although Mexico worked hard and won the remaining two periods, with a 24-20, in the third, and 22-21, he was no longer able to catch up with his rivals.
Fabián Jaimes, with 11 points, was the most outstanding element on the court, while the one from Tizayuca hardly saw any activity in one minute and 24 seconds.
