Germany stuns USA in FIBA Basketball World Cup semi-final
Obst and Wagner lead Germany to historic victory
Germany scored more points than any team ever has against a USA team
Andreas Obst scored 24 points and Franz Wagner added 22 as Germany stunned the United States 93-89 in the semi-finals of the FIBA Basketball World Cup. It was the first time that Germany had ever defeated the United States in a major international competition.
The United States had won the previous two World Cups and was heavily favored to win this year's tournament.
But Germany played with great heart and determination and never trailed in the game. Obst and Wagner were outstanding, and the rest of the German team played well.
The victory was a major upset and it sends Germany to the final of the World Cup, where they will face either France or Spain.
