US breezes into final
Print Edition
THE United States moved a step closer to retaining basketball’s World Cup on Thursday as it beat Lithuania 96-68 in Barcelona to reach the final.
Kyrie Irving had 18 points while Klay Thompson and James Harden both had 16 points and Stephen Curry added 13 for the Americans, who also beat Lithuania in the semifinals of the 2010 worlds en route to their title in Turkey.
The US will be playing in its eighth final tomorrow and shooting for its fifth title overall. It will take on the winner of the second semifinal between Serbia and France — the latter sprang a surprise by beating host Spain in the quarterfinal. Yugoslavia was the last nation to defend the world title when it was crowned champion in 1998 and 2002 — the second being its fifth and final crown.
