!VIVA NEW ZEALAND SSWC10! Italy gets destroyed in final showdown.
An Italian player neckchops his teammate while NZ scores.
After a grueling, no-holds-barred SSWC basketball showdown, New Zealand emerged victorious over Italy 42-37.
The New Zealand squad played 40 minutes of diehard b-ball and exhibited stellar passing, blocking and rebounding. Italy fell behind early in the first half, and despite their efforts in making a late come-back, they shamefully let their fellow countrymen down.
