Podgorica, June 15 - Extremely high temperature in the sports hall "Moraca" in Podgorica prevented many spectators from coming to see the victory of their favorite team. Excellent concentration of the team of Serbia and Montenegro created good defense and their block stopped almost all actions of the Cuban team. Strong but not experienced enough, the Cubans weren't able to find the right strategy and block the reigning Olympic and European champions getting back to their right form.
