Kazakhstan 88, Taiwan 85
Inability to come up with the key defensive rebounds late in the game resulted in Team Taiwan's second straight defeat of the tournament as it fell at the hands of the previously winless Kazakhstan by a final of 88-85 on Tuesday evening in the biggest upset of the tournament thus far.
Team Taiwan took a 25-18 lead early in the second quarter behind a strong effort from Tien Lei and saw Kazakhstan chip away at the lead by cutting it down to one at the half (39-38) before forcing a tie (62-62) at the end of the third and closing in on the eventual win.
