Semifinal, 1976 Olympic Basketball
July 26, 1976 · Montreal Forum, Montreal, Canada
Semifinal, 1976 Olympic Basketball: Yugoslavia 89–84 Soviet Union, at Montreal Forum, Montreal, Canada on July 26, 1976.
The Soviet Union, undefeated through the Preliminary Round (5-0), was upset here by Yugoslavia rather than by the USA, before winning the bronze-medal game over Canada — confirming this site's existing medal-context prose that the USSR was 'eliminated en route by other contenders,' not by the eventual gold medalist.
