ISTANBUL -- I don't usually let others write my leads for me, but I'll make an exception in this case and relay what Houston Rockets GM Daryl Morey tweeted after watching Luis Scola dominate down the stretch of Argentina's 93-89 victory over Brazil: "Scola goes into video game god mode to finish off Brazil. Wow."

Wow, indeed.

Scola made Argentina's last five field goals, didn't miss a shot in the fourth quarter and scored 37 points on 14-for-20 shooting Tuesday night. He also had two assists and a key late steal in one of the more dominating performances I've ever witnessed by a single player in an international basketball game. (Sadly, I only watched Oscar Schmidt of Brazil play in person in 1996, at the tail end of his career.)

"It was an amazing basketball game. I wish I was neither Argentinian nor Brazilian so I could have watched the game and enjoyed it from that perspective," said Scola, the leading scorer by far in this tournament with an average of 30.4 points per game.
