Phoenix Suns and Slovenian PG Goran Dragic tweeted a very interesting take on today’s FIBA World Cup Basketball game between Australia and Angola.
Basketball is a beautiful sport, there is no room for fixing the game like today Australia vs Angola!! @FIBA should do something about that!

Dragic basically accuses the 2 teams of fixing the FIBA Group D matchup. By losing the game Australia puts themselves in a prime position to finish 3rd in their group and to avoid the United States in the knockout round. Angola’s win, pretty much eliminates South Korea from the being in contention of tournament play. Dragic calls for action from FIBA, but I imagine it will be pretty difficult for them to prove of any wrong doing on either side. The game was a competitive comeback win for Angola 91-83, led by Yanick Moreira’s 38 points.
