Turkey remained ahead for the rest of the fourth quarter, until a basket by Serbia's Novica Velickovic in the last 4 seconds put the Balkan team ahead 81-82.

However Turkey's Kerem Tunceri was able to sink the ball in with less than 1 second remaining to win the game for the host country.

Serbia's Marko Keselj was the top-scorer of the game, with 18 points including 4 three-pointers. Hidayet Turkoglu topped Turkey with 16 points.

Turkey will now take on the US on Sunday in the first world championship finals in the team's history.
