The USA are out of the Basketball World Cup after losing to Germany 113-111 in the semifinals.

The Americans trailed Germany by as much as 12 in the fourth quarter but cut the Germans’ lead to just one with 1:35 remaining.

However, a step-back three on the next possession from Andreas Obst gave the Germans a four-point advantage they ultimately wouldn’t relinquish.

Anthony Edwards led the way for the Americans with 23 points, while Austin Reaves had 21 and Mikal Bridges added 17.
