Canada will make their debut in the FIBA Basketball World Cup semi-finals after overpowering Slovenia 100-89 through a third-quarter rally as Germany edged past Latvia 81-79 on Wednesday to reach the final four.
In a battle of elite point guards, Luka Doncic and Slovenia went toe to toe with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Canada in a first half that ended level at 50-50.
"We started getting stops defensively, been able to run transitions when we are at our best," Gilgeous-Alexander, an NBA All-Star who posted game-highs of 31 points and 10 rebounds, told reporters. "We are not satisfied, we want to win gold." Latvia forward Davis Bertans missed a game-winning three-pointer at the final buzzer that could have completed their recovery from 70-59 down early in the fourth quarter."That's probably the worst game I've ever played in my career," Schroder told reporters.
