Argentina, looking to win its first FIBA World Cup since the inaugural edition in 1950, and Spain, led by Marc Gasol, who’s hoping to add World Cup gold to a 2019 NBA title, will face off Sunday in Beijing in the final of the international basketball tournament.
Spain advanced to the title game with a pulsing 95-88 double-overtime victory over Australia, erasing a double-digit deficit in regulation to hand the stunned Boomers their first loss of the tournament.
“That was a hell of a game of basketball,” Australia coach Andrej Lemanis said succinctly.
Gasol, who won an NBA title with the Raptors in June, has a chance become only the second person to add a World Cup title to an NBA championship in the same year.
