Mavs' Barea Thriving in International Game

Jan Hubbard of the STAR-TELEGRAM writes, "Puerto Rico went on to defeat Canada 72-66 to advance to the tournament semifinals as the No. 4 seed. Their tournament will likely end today when they meet the U.S. at the Thomas & Mack Center with tipoff at 6 p.m. In the first meeting between the two teams, the U.S. won by 39 points. But simply to be in the game is a bonus. Puerto Rico had to win three of its last four games to advance. For Barea, it's another chance to add to the experience that he needs to get regular playing time with the Mavericks. The Mavericks like him as their No. 3 point guard, but he'd like more."
