<\/p>\n
The United States won’t be going for gold at the FIBA World Cup … the squad full of NBA talent just lost to Germany in the semifinals of the international tournament.<\/p>\n
Team USA was the betting favorite to win it all this year … with guys like Anthony Edwards<\/strong>, Austin Reaves<\/strong>, Jalen Brunson<\/strong> and Mikal Bridges<\/strong> <\/strong>suiting up for the Red, White and Blue.<\/p>\n But their plans were spoiled on Friday … as Germany’s Andreas Obst<\/strong>, Franz Wagner<\/strong> and Daniel Theis<\/strong> had huge games to help their team move on to the finals.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n While it was a close contest through the first half, Germany was able to pull ahead in the third quarter … and USA found themselves down 10 late in the final minutes of the game. Despite a late push, USA couldn’t eliminate the deficit, falling 113-111.<\/p>\n Edwards had 23 points and eight rebounds for the U.S. … with Reaves adding 21 of his own.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n America will now face off against Canada in hopes of winning bronze … and Germany will play Serbia in the finals.<\/p>\n While the tourney isn’t over for Team USA just yet, it’s another disappointing result for the organization … as they haven’t won gold since 2014.<\/p>\n
