FIBA under19 tournament, Auckland, New Zealand
The USA have claimed the gold medal at the FIBA U19 World Championship, holding off a second half comeback from Greece to record an 88-80 victory and win the title for the first time since 1991.

The Americans shot 52% on two point shots, 40% from the perimeter and 81% from the free throw line. It would prove decisive as Greece could only convert on 44%, 35% and 71% respectively.

Cheers

FIBA? Isn't that the organization that uses a metric basketball?

Yep, that's why the score is never in doubt.

Nope - only in decimals.

Yep and you can get two through the hoop at the same time.

To make that look more metric you could use binary, and then it would be 10 basketballs.
