DONGGUAN - Deposed champions the United States lost 94-89 to Serbia in a dead-rubber at the Basketball World Cup on Thursday , a day after surrendering their 13-year unbeaten run.
Thursday's"classification" game in Dongguan was the final that never was: the holders against the favourites. But there was added spice after Serbia's coach said before the World Cup that if the Americans met his team,"May god help them". But the US comeback fell narrowly short and they have another classification match on Saturday to decide who finishes seventh and eighth.
