Jose Alvarado led Puerto Rico with 18 points (7-of-13 FGs), one rebound, three assists, one steal and three 3-pointers in a 104-83 loss to Team USA on Saturday.
Alvarado struggled mightily in their loss to Serbia on Wednesday, and while he wasn’t able to change the outcome of this game, he was far more effective. He was the team’s leading scorer and was one of three players to score in double figures. They finished 0-3 in group play, so the next time we will see Alvarado suit up will be back in New Orleans, where he will be the backup point guard behind Dejounte Murray.
