    Latvia v Puerto Rico


    Puerto Rico were the best offence of the group stage scoring 86 points per game but the Latvians are the top-rebounding team in this OQT with 45 boards per contest. The contrast between the European side looking to speed things up and the experienced Caribbean team trying to impose a more controlled pace should make for delightful clash.

    Serbia v Czech Republic


    The two most unselfish teams during the group stage in Belgrade come into the semi-final clash averaging 24.5 and 24 assists per contest, respectively. There are many interesting subplots here, not least the individual match-ups between Milos Teodosic and Tomas Satoransky at the point guard spot or between Nikola Jokic and Jan Vesely close to the rim.
