FIBA World Cup 2019: USA, Czech Republic lose in quarterfinals

So Wednesday wasn’t a good day for the two primary teams I was interested in, whether it’s the Czech Republic men’s national basketball team because of Wizards alum Tomas Satoransky or the United States’ because that’s where I’m from.

The Czech Republic’s run comes to an end

The Czechs lost to Australia, 82-70 on Wednesday morning in Shanghai. Patty Mills led the Boomers with 24 points and shote 6-of-9 from the three-point line. The Czechs actually shot better than Australia. However, they committed 16 turnovers, five from Satoransky, which played a role flipping the script here.
