FIBA World Cup results today – the most memorable displays
The action on day 6 saw most games go the way of the favourites. The closest match which also eliminated the losing team saw Greece edge New Zealand 83-74. The Tall Blacks certainly didn’t go out without putting up a decent fight. They won the first 2 quarters and led at halftime by 11 points. However, the Greeks found unlikely heroes on their bench with Papapetrou and Larentzakis combining for 45 points to give Greece the win that also saw them progress.
The other game of this group was the expected cruise-mode triumph of Team USA vs Jordan. It was another team effort from the Americans and only substitute Haliburton played more than 19 minutes. Edwards had a great game and he finished with 22 points on 8 of 16 shooting in just 19 minutes on the court.
In other matches Spain and Serbia recorded big wins and the two European nations progressed through the next round with perfect 3 wins out of 3. The Luka-led Slovenia also made it 3 wins in 3, this despite Luka Doncic offering his worst showing so far with just 19 points and less than 35% shooting.
Will there be more records broken and more blowout wins on day 2? Well, we’ll have to watch and see.
