In the process, teenager Tai Webster confirmed the promise that may well see the national men's team rise from the ash- es of what has been a frustrating 2012 campaign. Webster led all scorers with 21 points, which included five three pointers in the win over Angola. After the heavy loss to Macedonia the day before, New Zealand needed to beat their African rivals by 27 points to advance to the quarterfinals of the FIBA Olympic Qualifying Tournament in Caracas.
