US survive a huge scare as they narrowly beat Turkey 93-92 in a nail-biting FIBA Basketball World Cup match
Dogus Balbay of Turkey in action against Harrison Barnes of USA during the 2019 FIBA World Cup Group E match between USA and Turkey at Shanghai Oriental Sports Center in Shanghai, China on September 03, 2019.
After Sunday's comfortable but unspectacular 88-67 win over the Czech Republic, Popovich said there was room for improvement. That brought a huge roar from much of the crowd and the Turks looked all set for victory with seconds left, only for Jayson Tatum to rescue the Americans by making two of three free throws at the death.
They lost 98-94 to Australia in a warm-up ahead of the World Cup, the hosts ending the USA's run of 78 consecutive wins in major competitions and exhibition games.Australia, another touted as a threat to the US, reached the second round with a Joe Ingles-inspired 81-68 victory over Senegal. Ingles, who admitted that the Australians were "rattled" by Senegal in the first half, was instrumental in the victory with 17 points, 10 rebounds and nine assists — just one assist short of the first triple-double in World Cup history.
