By Michael De Leon, Project Spurs.comIn what seemed like an intrasquad San Antonio Spurs scrimmage. France's depth ended up winning 71-64 over Argentina's star power at only a handful of positions.
France lead early on and Argentina would be looking to close the gap the rest of the way. Even after Argentina found ways to even the game up with free throws or three-pointers, France seemed to always answer back.
For Argentina, they had good performances from Manu Ginobili and Luis Scola, but didn't get much help elsewhere while France had five players in double figures.

Here's how the Spurs representation on both teams did.
