FIBA U17 Oceania Cup: Samoa defeat Guam for the 3rd place

Guam - Samoa 78-84

Samoa closed out their FIBA U17 Oceania Cup campaign with an 84–78 victory over Guam after a strong second-half surge overturned an early deficit. Guam led by double digits in the opening quarter, but Samoa responded to trail by just six at halftime before taking control down the stretch. A decisive 30–18 fourth quarter proved the difference, as Samoa’s late-game execution and composure allowed them to pull away after the teams were locked together through three periods.
Micah Watson (188-G-2009) top-scored for the winners with 23 points and Kingston Tutani (182-G-2009) notched 20. Lynnwood Baker (175-G-2008) answered with 20 points in defeat.
