The FIBA Olympic qualifying tournament in Puerto Rico will continue on Thursday when the host country faces Italy in a Group B contest.
Italy is coming off a dominant win over Bahrain in which seven players scored at least 10 points. Danilo Gallinari and Nicolo Melli led the way in the 114-53 victory, combining for 28 points on 11-of-13 shooting from the field.
But Italy shouldn't view its matchup against Puerto Rico as another walkover on the road to the Paris Olympics. With Jose Alvarado and Tremont Waters pushing the pace and the home crowd providing a boost, Puerto Rico is capable of pulling off the upset.
Here is everything you need to know about Italy vs. Puerto Rico, including the tipoff time and how you can stream the game.
