After losing to one American team, Slovenia came back Wednesday to defeat another, Puerto Rico, 90-82. Bostjan Nachbar once again led the Slovenians, garnering 10 points and 11 rebounds, in spite of a dreadful shooting performance. The Nets 6'-9" forward shot only 2-for-13, missing all seven of his two-point shots. Slovenia had five players in double figures. The "Greens" play China Thursday. A win would put them in the round of 16. Nachbar is averaging 12.5 ppg and 5.8 rpg.
