Tremont Waters: “I already apologised to the team”

A joint effort led Puerto Rico to triumph, with Tremont Waters playing a pivotal role throughout. He garnered 19 points, 10 assists, 4 rebounds, and 3 steals.

“We have a couple of things to work out – turnovers on my part,” Tremont Waters said. “I already apologised to the team. Being the guy with the ball most of the team, they continue to trust me.
“So I have to get better at that. But overall we did a great job staying together. The last month has taught about that. If we hadn’t learned it yet, we learned that tonight.”
