In the second phase of the World Cup Serbia's top basketball players will play against Puerto Rico who defeated Tunisia in a dramatic game by scoring three points five seconds before full time, eliminating the African team by winning 67-64.

The decisive points in the game that was played in Guangzhou were the work of Gary Brown, who scored at a crucial moment to give the Puerto Ricans great joy. They won two and lost one game in the first group stage and will now come up against Serbia and Spain in the newly formed Group J in Wuhan.

The Puerto Ricans endured the threat of NBA giant Salah Mejri (14 points, 9 rebouds) and Armani's Michael Roll (13) who carried Tunisia, then delivering a painful blow in the very final thanks to Brown.
