09/07/2010 - Istanbul, Turkey (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Luis Scola continued a blistering scoring clip with 37 points on 14-of-20 shooting as Argentina edged Brazil, 93-89, to gain a quarterfinal berth in a thrilling South American showdown at the 2010 FIBA World Championship.
Scola of the NBA's Houston Rockets leads the tournament with 30.3 points per game and is knocking down 62 percent of his shots. He scored a dozen points in the decisive fourth quarter, including 10 of the final 12 points for Argentina.
Carlos Delfino of the Milwaukee Bucks added 20 points and hit 4-of-7 from three-point range.
Argentina will take on Lithuania in the quarterfinals after its win over China earlier Tuesday.
The Brazilians were led by Marcelo Huertas' 32 points and led at halftime, 48-46, in what was a tight game throughout. Huertas and then Delfino traded buckets at the conclusion of the third quarter with the game tied at 66 moving to the fourth.
Leandro Barbosa of the Phoenix Suns gave Brazil a lift with back-to-back three-pointers -- two of his five -- to open the final frame. Barbosa scored 20 points in all but it was Huertas who kept it close at the end.
Huertas recorded 10 points in the fourth and hit two free throws early on to keep Brazil in front after Hernan Jasen dropped a pair of threes to answer Barbosa.
The lead continued to change hands down the stretch as Jasen and Huertas knocked down shots for their respective countries as the clock wound under six minutes remaining.
The advantage was back in Brazil's hands, 81-79, on two Tiago Splitter free throws with 3:15 left before Scola took over late.
Scola dropped in consecutive buckets to swing the momentum, and poured in another two following a Brazil counter to get the margin to 89-84 with less than 30 seconds remaining.
Splitter came back with a deuce to make it a one-possession game before Delfino was able to sink two clutch free throws with under 10 seconds to play.
Huertas continued the excitement by nailing a three as time was about to expire, cutting the lead to two. Scola, though, drew the quick foul and made both at the line to wrap things up.
Linas Kleiza poured in 30 points and grabbed nine rebounds to lead Lithuania in its 78-67 win over China. Martynas Gecevicius added 14 points and Mantas Kalnietis chipped in 11 for Lithuania.
Liu Wei scored 21 points to lead China.
The Chinese opened a 22-17 lead after the first quarter, but Lithuania used a 23-10 run during the second and went to the break with a 43-40 edge. A three by Liu pulled China even at 48-48 with just over seven minutes left in the third quarter, but Gecevicius answered with a shot from beyond the arc to ignite an 11-0 run for Lithuania.
Kleiza scored four during the burst, which gave Lithuania a 59-48 lead, and the third quarter ended with a 64-51 cushion for the Lithuanians. China got as close as five with just over five minutes left on a bucket by Wang ZhiZhi, but Kleiza scored the next 10 points for Lithuania to extend the margin to 12 with just over a minute remaining.

American Idol Betting Odds: Season 6
The online gambling websites are in the process of deciphering each American Idol contestant and his or her chances of winning Season 6 to come up with the early American Idol betting lines.
Tim Dalton of MySportsbook.com has been locked away in a soundproof room coming up with all the latest tallies, we are told. "American Idol has become one of the most significant betting events of the year," claims Jack Black of MySportsbook.com. "Last year, millions were bet during the season across the globe, not just in America.It's tough early on since we really do not have a glimpse as to how well each of these individuals will perform solo on a week-to-week basis. It's like Week 1 of the NFL. Pre-season means nada!
We do know the 24 finalists however.
Sanjaya Malakar is the young man whose sister failed to make it into the Top 24. He's very low key but - unless he totally flubs - will probably win over the young girlie vote for a few weeks anyway. He's too young to go all the way, according to Payton O'Brien.
Brandon Rogers - Who?
Phil Stacy is the military guy who missed his daughter's birth because of the Memphis audition. He should go a good distance.
Chris Sligh - He's got the humor and in many ways he's the Anti-American Idol much like last year's winner Taylor Hicks was. And this is why he'll probably get pretty far in this competition. He's chubby, white with a big curly afro....but more importantly, a great voice! People love "real", not "real cute" to go all the way.
"Blake Lewis should go far because of his uniqueness and looks. He's the boy next store with a twist - he beat boxes. But on top of this, he's a great singer, and I adore him," Payton O'Brien relayed.
A talented beat-boxer Blake Lewis was a hit during the group sing in Hollywood but Simon explained that this is a singing contest just before he told him he was “in.”
Paul Kim has caught our own roving reporter, Jenny Woo's eyes.
"I love the fact that there is a Korean American on the show and he is bound to get more Asians tuning into the show," Woo said from her Miami Beach estate. "There has never been a major presence of Asian-Americans on American Idol in the past. He's a hottie with a nice voice so that should help to take him far. Expect heavy betting action from the Asian community."
Sundance Head - He's not perfect, but he's got the personality that will take him through a few weeks, plus he's got the lineage (son of Roy Head - whose 1965 single, "Treat Her Right," hit No. 5 in the charts)
And the others:
Rudy Cardinas
AJ Tabaldo - the 5th time is the charm
Nicolas Pedro
Chris Richardson
Jared Cotter
The girls
"Melinda Doolittle has one of the best voices," says MySportsbook.com Reporter and an acclaimed dancer in her own right, Destiney Lewis. "It is great to see a back up singer step out like she has. The girl needs to gain more confidence but that can also be a positive. I think she will go far."
Alena Alexander - Those tears (she never seems to stop bawling) should get her far.
"Single mom Lakisha Jones I suspect will be a pretty big favorite entering Week 1 of the competition," says Destiny Williams. Jones is an excellent singer and down to earth. "She'll have a wide appeal," echoed O'Brien.
Nicole Trellis - Seems to exert confidence.
Amy Krebs - a powerful singer.
Antonella Barba
Gina Glocksen
Hailey Scanardo
Jordan Sparks
