Basketball: Belgium lead Spain at the half of women’s quarter-final
After a close first quarter that was one for the offensive purists (26-26), Belgium pulled away in the second to take a 48-37 lead into the half.
There’s a big Belgian contingent in the crowd here at Bercy who are roaring the Cats on, and Belgium will look to ride that wave to a first-ever semi-final apperance at the Games.
Spain, meanwhile, will be hoping to avoid a repeat of the EuroBasket final last year, where they lost to Belgium in a very tight contest.Â
Megan Gustafson (ESP) leads all players with 17 points; Emma Meesseman has 14 points and 2 blocks for Belgium.
Second half to come.
