Jonathan Tavernari was one of five Brazilian players in double figures, scoring 11 points as Brazil overcame a one-point haltfime deficit in a 95-89 win over Finland at the Torneio Internacional de Almada earlier today in Portugal.
In a blistering shooting performance, Brazil shot 62% outside the arc, 63% on its two-point attempts, and 85% from the free throw line. Former Utah star Hanno Mottola plays for the Finland senior national team, but was not part of the Finnish contingent playing in Portugal.
Brazil looks to finish the exhibition tourney with a perfect 3-0 record when it meets host Portugal on Sunday.
