Brazil 84, Spain 66

Brazil defeated Spain today 84 to 66 to win the title at the Eletrobrás International Cup. Spain scored the first basket and that was the only time they led the score. From then on, Brazil took over the game and opened up a big lead in the second quarter behind Alessandra's strong play in the paint. Alessandra finished with 28 points and 8 rebounds. Janeth contributed 15 points. Laia Palau led Spain with 16 points in the absence of the team's biggest star, small forward Amaya Valdemoro, who sat out the entire tournament with an undisclosed injury. China finished in third place with Canada in fourth.
Brazil and Spain will meet again on September 14 to close out Group A play and possibly secure a first place finish.
