-Serbia-Latvia was a fun game to watch. Serbia cleared the game in the last 2 mins, but until then it was open.
-Not one player of Spain had to play more than 20 mins, and the game was over before halftime. 11/17 3pts too.
-I didnt watch Russia-Turkey but Shved and Mozgov had good statlines (22 pts for Shved and 9 rebs, 20 pts for Mozgov). Also, in a perfect world, Turkey vs Spain in the the Quarterfinals would be a fun game to watch - this result made this matching a bit more likely.
Update: FIBA posted a
highlight from the closing of the Turkey-Russia game. Nice play by Shved. Also I had not noticed it earlier, but Russia removed the imperial eagle from the uniform, and made letters golden. Not bad.
