U.S. stunned by Germany in FIBA World Cup semifinals

Manila, SANA-The U.S. men’s basketball team was upset by Germany in the FIBA World Cup semifinals, sending the Americans to the bronze-medal game.

Germany, powered by NBA forwards Franz Wagner and Daniel Theis, beat the U.S. 113-111 in Manila to reach its first final at an Olympics or worlds (Sunday versus Serbia).

It was Germany’s first win over the U.S. in their ninth meeting in the Dream Team era (since 1992).

The U.S. has lost two games at a second consecutive World Cup and in those defeats broke the record for the most points it has allowed at an Olympics or worlds.
