Austin Reaves tips his hat to Germany and his former LA Lakers teammate Dennis Schroder after favored USA dropped its FIBA World Cup knockout semifinal assignment in heartbreaking fashion
MANILA, Philippines – FIBA World Cup crowd favorite Austin Reaves was a humble man in defeat after Germany ousted the USA in a thrilling 113-111 knockout semifinal win at the Mall of Asia Arena on Friday, September 8.
Despite the loss, Reaves himself was no slouch, sparking the USA offense like he always does with 21 points off the bench on 7-of-10 shooting and 3-of-5 from three in just 24 minutes. For Reaves, allowing that kind of offensive production across so many sources is just a recipe for disaster.
