GARCIA MORENO had 16 of his 22 points as Spain built a 41-24 advantage at half-time after earlier pulling away with an 8-0 run.
Then ZARZUELA BELTRAN stepped up his support, with 12 of his game-best tally of 24 coming after the break as his side continued to pull away.
GARCIA MORENO increased the gap to 62-33 with the opening score of the fourth quarter. Although the South Africans reeled off a 9-0 burst, their second defeat of the tournament was already certain. Top scorers for South Africa were Richard NORTE and Stuart JELLOWS with 11 points each.
