Scotland's basketball sides collected three wins from four matches overall, but the men's 3x3 team suffered an important setback at the Commonwealth Games. Their push for a place in the quarter-finals was damaged by a 21-13 defeat to New Zealand in Pool A.
Earlier in the day, Scotland had boosted their campaign with a 21-16 win over Nigeria. That result kept them in contention, but the later loss means they now sit third in the Pool A standings rather than moving into a stronger position.
The combination of one win and one defeat leaves the Scotland men with work to do if they are to reach the knockout stage. With the table led by teams above them, their remaining fixtures have become even more significant in the race for the quarter-finals.
The headline result across the basketball programme was still positive for Scotland, with three victories from four games for the national sides. Even so, the men's loss to New Zealand was the key outcome, as it directly affected their Commonwealth Games 3x3 qualification hopes.
