The Dominican Republic overcame a foul-plagued effort by Karl-Anthony Towns to reach the knockout stage of the FIBA World Cup with Tuesday's 75-67 victory over Angola.
Towns picked up three fouls in the opening four minutes and finished with eight points and two rebounds in just over 15 minutes of game action. The Minnesota Timberwolves' star averaged 25 points and 10.5 rebounds in the first two games.
But despite the low-scoring output from Towns, Andres Feliz scored 17 points and Victor Liz added 13 for the Dominican Republic, which finished 3-0 in Group A.
