Goodbye Australia and welcome Spain again in the Finals, credit to Rubio for making great plays in this double OT.
Kudos to Gasol too for playing well.Next to watch, Argentina vs. France. Another going to be an intense game.

That's it for the Aussies. Great tournament for them but turnovers and poor shooting beyond the arc has costs them this match. Mark Gasol putting that dagger!
Spain got a lead of 8 points and now they lead by 90-82. That should seal the match. As I had said earlier, lower ranking teams don't have much luck during the OT. The longer the match lasts, the advantage shifts to the stronger side. With 125 seconds remaining, now it will be impossible for Australia to cover this huge deficit. So the final in all probability will be France vs Spain.

Its final, 95-88 Spain win it. Congratulations.

Players are tired and making a lot of mistakes.
Gasol is cool AF
Yeah, most of them are. Gasol is cool AF
You saw that Gasol was placed at the last seconds of ball possession to Australia. He took rest for awhile. Oh well, Spain is on momentum, I think they will get it this time.
Second OT!
I'm really loving this match! This deserves to be the Finals.

It is as close as it can be. I have a feeling that this semifinal is going to the overtime (OT). If Spain gets kicked out of the world cup by Australia, then the winner of this edition will be confirmed as a wild card (provided Argentina beats France). Spain still has 1 minute or so to catch up with Australia. Currently Australia is leading by 1 point (70-69).
As I had predicted the match has gone in to OT.
The momentum seems to be with Spain and Australia has gone in to full defensive mode. Right now it is advantage Spain, and they are leading Australia 78-77. From what I have noticed, whenever the match goes in to OT, the higher ranking side is having more chances of winning. The perfect example is the United States vs Turkey match.
Edit: 78-78 now.
Overtime. Rubio almost made the 3 point shot, but we are in OT now.
That was close!I like this game, it's so intense, Patty Mills did the right thing to miss the free through, LOL...
Haha, it wasn't intentionally done though, they have won the game already if that went through.One interesting thing, they are both in penalty now as the fouls are carried in the OT.
76-76 with 3 minutes left. 28 seconds left and the game is still very close. Spain has successfully made the game even closer. We will see how they would create the game play for this do or die game. Australia has only a single point to lose before the game will go on a tie. Will Spain make it past Australia this time?

Spain going to win and cover the spread in this game? What do you think ?

Overtime.Those last call fouls are odd and that was an almost half court shoot by Rubio. Spain did well to reach the lead of Australia, another 5 more minutes of intensity is coming.
.......and here comes OVERTIME!!!!
Damn Rubio's shot almost went in. Fortunately for us, it did not and we get to see more of this classic match. Hopefully less TO's from the Aussies.

What a great match - overtime now. Mills - Australias best player in the tournament - lost one of two fts just before the end, otherwise the match would have ended.

But as of the moment, it seems like Australia vs Spain will start soon, looks like this is a good game also, and I like to bet on Australia to win by 6+ points, that's x4 and my sportsbook.
End of third quarter mate and the score is 51-55 in favor of Australia, looks like we are on the road for another upset today though there is lot of time left.
Good luck, did you bet on the Australia to win this game?
I believe Spain hasn't been able to make a big run yet, that's because of the good defense of the Australians, it's 4th quarter already and the Spain are trying to make it a close game, but let's see if they will be able to do that, the way I see it now, it looks like Australia will win this game.
Yup, i did bet today and i'm with the underdogs.
What a thrilling game....
Edit:
Damn, that missed free throw...

Fourth quarter 6 min - Spain 65-67 Australia
A crucial basket to Spain and Andrej Lemanis calls a time out.
This. Is.On. The Spaniards have been below form from the field, but they’re coming here. What a nervous final 3-4 minutes: it’s a Basketball World Cup semi-final, ladies and gentlemen.

A close match between Australia and Spain after three quarters. Ricky Rubio keeping Spain well in the match. I am still rooting for Australia to go to the Finals
