Semifinal, 1986 FIBA World Cup
July 17, 1986 · Madrid, Spain
Semifinal, 1986 FIBA World Cup: USA 96–80 Brazil, at Madrid, Spain on July 17, 1986.
The two Second Round groups' top two finishers advanced to a genuine knockout semifinal, cross-paired across groups (each group's 1st-place finisher faced the other group's 2nd-place finisher) — a discrete elimination stage layered on top of the round-robin rounds, distinct from 1982's tied-standings deciders.
