Spain responded to Tuesday's defeat to Russia with a resounding 61-40 rout of Turkey in Udine on Wednesday to wrap up top spot in Group E at the U20 European Championship Women.
Turning Point: When the final buzzer sounded at the end of the meeting with Russia, signaling Spain's first defeat at this level since 2012, it clearly struck a chord with the Spanish players and they started this game with increased intensity and concentration, surging into a 16-0 lead and killing the game as a contest.
Game Hero: The competitive fire that fuelled this victory burned through the entire team but Leticia Romero embodied that spirit taking Turkey on from the first tip. She had a hand in everything for the reigning champions and dictated the play with great poise, going on to record 20 points, six rebounds and five assists.
Stats Don't Lie: Take your pick. Spain dominated across the board but the most telling statistic is that Turkey did not register a single field goal in the opening quarter and only four in the first half, by which point the game had been over a long time.
The Bottom Line: Spain reassumed their position atop Group E after Tuesday's slip while Turkey will join Czech Republic in falling into the classification competition after finishing fifth.
