Spain win 2019 FIBA World Cup
After two weeks of exciting action, Spain won the FIBA World Cup, for the second time, on Sunday, thanks to a 95-75 win over Argentina. Argentina had produced surprise wins over Serbia and France on route to the final, although the South Americans couldn't produce another shock as the Spanish came away with a comfortable win.
Sergio Scariolo's side led throughout the entire game, and the title is Spain's second after the nation previously took home the gold at the 2006 World Cup. Marc Gasol and Sergio Llull combined for 29 points, while Tournament MVP Ricky Rubio scored 20 points in another excellent performance.
Gabriel Deck managed 24 points for Argentina, although Luis Scola endured his worst performance of his tournament as he shot just 1-for-10 from the floor. Both teams will compete at the Olympic Games next summer.
