Day 14 Preview:
Early last week, New Zealand fans were hopeful that their team would reclaim the most prestigious prize in yachting, but Kiwis around the world are now officially worried.
With Emirates Team New Zealand needing one more victory to reclaim the cup, Oracle Team USA has fought off four match points by winning four straight races.
The U.S. team will try to keep its improbable comeback alive on Tuesday. They were down match point at 8-1 but has caught the winds of luck and through skill closed the gap to 8-6.
"The boys are incredibly fired up. I've never seen them like this before," skipper Jimmy Spithill (9) said, the Los Angeles Times reports. "The entire team, there's a lot of great energy there."
If they prevail, it would be the greatest comeback in America's Cup history.
New Zealand Skipper Dean Barker said, "We still wouldn't trade positions. We still would rather be on match point than having to win three more."
