Semifinal (1st-4th place), 1990 FIBA World Cup

August 17, 1990 · Luna Park, Buenos Aires, Argentina

Semifinal (1st-4th place), 1990 FIBA World Cup: Soviet Union 98–82 Puerto Rico, at Luna Park, Buenos Aires, Argentina on August 17, 1990.

A genuine knockout semifinal, part of a discrete single-elimination bracket for each four-team band (1st-4th, 5th-8th, 9th-12th, 13th-16th) that decided final placement after the round-robin rounds — not a round-robin decider like 1982's tied-standings medal games.
