Esteban Batista had 34 points and 15 rebounds for Uruguay, which survived a wild final few seconds for an 82-79 victory over Puerto Rico on Saturday night in the FIBA tournament.

Uruguay rallied behind their big man to overcome a 48-29 halftime deficit, taking the lead for good on the 6-foot-10 Batista's second straight rebound basket that made it 78-76 with 1:02 left.
