Basketball: France survives scare vs. Japan in OT thriller

France barely escaped with their second win of men’s basketball group play, beating Japan in overtime 94-90.

Japan is going to be sick after this one. Up 82-80, Japan got a huge defensive stop, as Victor Wembanyama missed a potential go-ahead 3-pointer with 25 seconds to go. Japan was then leading 84-80 after two Yuki Kawamura free throws with about 16 seconds left, only for France to improbably tie the game on the next possession.

Matthew Strazel hit a frantic 3-pointer from the left wing off an offensive rebound scramble and was sent to the free-throw line after a foul call on Kawamura. Frankly, it was a bad call. Multiple replays failed to show any serious contact on the shot, but Strazel was nonetheless able to tie the game at the line.

In overtime, France overwhelmed. Wembanyama scored 8 straight points by himself — an and-1, a 3 from the top of the key, and then two more from the stripe. Japan hit a couple 3s in the waning seconds, but it was too little, too late.

France is now 2-0 in Group B play. Japan fell to 0-2 with the loss.
