Rio de Janeiro (AFP) - Australia will not take home an Olympic women's basketball medal for the first time since 1992 after Serbia shocked the Opals 73-71 in Tuesday's Rio Games quarter-finals.
Ana Dabovic scored 24 points, Jelena Milovanovic added 17 and Sonja Petrovic contributed 13 points and five assists to spark the Serbians, the only team with a losing record to reach the medal playoffs.
"When you look at the quality in the roster or the names on the paper, they have the better team," Petrovic said. "When you look at the energy and heart, that's where we were able to win out.
