Mike Vigor played in eight minutes off the bench to help Team Scotland to a 63-52 victory over Cameroon at the Commonwealth Games.

Cameroon opened the third period with six unanswered points, but Murray’s hot hand continued into the third, sinking the baseline three to put Scotland ahead 35-21.
With Scotland threatening to run away with it, Cameroon’s defensive intensity stepped up, forcing back-to-back turnovers to halve Scotland’s lead to seven, 37-30.
A beautiful backdoor pass from Vigor gave Fraser Malcolm a wide open dunk, but Cameroon responded with an ‘and-1’ play on a two point jump shot to ensure it was still all to play for heading into the final ten minutes. 44-40.

Cameroon opened the final period with a three from the wing to narrow the gap down to just one. They were given multiple opportunities to take the lead in the fourth, but were haunted by poor decision making down the stretch.
A big time move in the post from Ali Fraser notched his personal tally up to ten and forced Cameroon to take a timeout with Scotland on top by six, 50-44.
The Scottish lead ballooned to nine with three and a half minutes to play, but Cameroon proved they weren’t going to give up without a fight and quickly responded with another three to cut the gap to six, 53-47.
Cameroon were forced to foul late in the game, allowing Murray to calmly ice the game from the foul line - final score 63-52.
