Eric Gordon’s FIBA performance is a reminder why he could be the fifth closer for the Suns

The FIBA Olympic Pre-Qualifying tournament for the Americas is now complete. With two Phoenix Suns on the roster, the 56th ranked Bohemian team upset the fourth ranked Argentinian team in the final, winning a thrilling game by the final score of 82-75. It was the second time in a week in which the Bahamas defeated Argentina, and while the majority of eyes were on the performance of Deandre Ayton, it was Eric Gordon, who stole the show.

The Bahamian National Team – led by Suns center Deandre Ayton, Suns guard Eric Gordon and Pacers guard Buddy Hield, and coached by Warriors assistant Chris DeMarco – just won the Olympic Qualifying Tournament in Argentina to earn a chance to make the Paris Olympics next year.
