Germany will play the United States in the semifinals of the Basketball World Cup, a rematch of an exhibition matchup from earlier this summer where the Americans needed a big rally to win.
Franz Wagner scored 16 points and Germany — the last unbeaten team left in the World Cup — held off Latvia 81-79 in a quarterfinal game on Wednesday, pulling away in the fourth quarter of what had been a back-and-forth matchup for the first 30 minutes.
That game was a scrimmage, meaningless, the final tune-up before the World Cup. Friday’s game will be very, very different. Latvia can still finish as high as fifth in its first World Cup appearance. It’ll play Italy in Thursday’s consolation playoffs, then play for either fifth- or seventh-place on Saturday.
