BEIJING: Argentina steamrolled into the basketball World Cup semi-finals with a spectacular 97-87 win over Serbia, who were among the tournament favourites, and were joined by 2006 champions Spain who overpowered surprise package Poland 90-78 on Tuesday.
A Marko Guduric three-pointer briefly gave Serbia a 70-68 lead early in the fourth quarter but Argentina roared back with a 14-3 run which put the game beyond their rivals' reach. "The atmosphere was too euphoric back home in Serbia as everyone was saying we were going to win the World Cup. I know only too well what kind of pressure that generates and sometimes it just doesn't help."
