USA 62, Canada 69 – in double overtime.
In an extremely hard-fought, double-overtime game, Canada defeated the USA. Clearly this was the premier matchup of the Paralympic wheelchair basketball tournament. With this win, Canada advances to tomorrow’s gold medal game, while the USA will play for the bronze.
In the other semifinal game Australia defeated Great Britain by a score of 67 – 54. Australia advances to the gold medal game and Great Britain will play for the bronze.
The medal games will be played on Tuesday, September 16 with the bronze medal game between the USA and Great Britain starting at 5:00pm Beijing Time (4:00am Central Time / 2:00am Pacific Time), and the gold medal game between Canada and Australia starting at 7:30pm Beijing Time (6:30am Central Time / 4:30am Pacific Time).
