The fans in Johannesburg, South Africa got their second taste of NBA basketball Saturday in the second NBA Africa Game. The good and the bad.
There were plenty of highlights. And then. . . there was intentional fouling of Andre Drummond in a close game. Some things never change. Even in an exhibition game.
Team Africa needed to catch up. And the strategy worked. Andre Drummond missed one of the free throws and Victor Oladipo drained a 3-pointer to pull the team within one. That was as close as Team Africa would get.
