Team USA has crashed out of the FIBA Basketball World Cup with a shock 113-111 loss in the semifinals against Germany.
The US was considered an overwhelming favorite to win the World Cup and took a strong team to the Philippines. However, following a disappointing performance, the US was the victim of a huge upset. As expected, the semifinal match-up got off to a tight start. Neither team was able to take control throughout the opening two quarters with the US taking a slight 60-59 lead into halftime.
Despite taking a team full of NBA stars including Edwards, Tyrese Haliburton and Jalen Brunson, it marks the second consecutive World Cup where the US has failed to reach the championship game. “Terrible. Plain and simple,” Brunson told reporters of his performance against Germany. “We knew the task at hand, that was to go and win and we didn’t do that,” Reaves added following the defeat. “The game has been globalized over the last 30 years or so. These games are difficult.
