Argentina edges Russia 69-61, tops Group B at FIBA World Cup

"Russia team is different from the rest teams which we had played against. They set a great test for us," Argentine coach Sergio Henandez said.

In the round of 16, Argentina will play old rival Venezuela.

"Before the game (against Russia) I thought we would play with the China team (in round of 16)," Henandez said. "Tomorrow we will talk about Venezuela, we know them so as they know us."
