Team USA defeated Russia 89-79 to advance to the FIBA World Championship semi-finals. Earlier, the Russian coach, David Blatt, had commented that the Russians had rightfully won the 1972 Olympic gold medal. Blatt holds dual American-Israeli citizenship and was serving in South Korea with the U.S. Army in 1972. Team USA will play the winner of Argentia-Lithuania.
The Russians deserved the victory in that game and I'm fucking Santa Claus! Probably the biggest hose job in sports history! Don't know David Blatt, but screw him.

I remember watching it as a 13 year old and it just seemed that the officials were gonna let the Soviets continue to run their full court pass play until they got it right. Total screw job!
