FIBA 3x3 World Championships 2016 Results: Scores and Highlights from Friday

Friday marked the final day of pool play at the FIBA 3x3 World Championships in Guangzhou, China, and the quarterfinal field was officially set for both the men's and women's tournaments.

Both Slovenia and Spain completed the group stage with perfect 4-0 records on the men's side, while tiebreakers were needed in the women's draw to determine the quarterfinalists in dramatic fashion.

With the final eight contenders now in place for the men's and women's world titles, here is a full listing of Friday's results, along with a recap of how pool play reached its conclusion.

The Spanish men had a tough act to follow Friday after Spain's women's team made history by becoming the first squad to beat Team USA's women at the FIBA 3x3 World Championships Thursday, but they were up to the task.

Espana took down both Poland and Romania to finish pool action undefeated and win Pool C over 3-1 Hungary.

Hungary entered the day at 1-1, but it clinched its spot in the knockout round with a pair of two-point triumphs over Romania and the Philippines.

A win by the Philippines would have put it in the quarterfinals rather than the Hungarians, but as seen in the following highlight video, Hungary dominated inside, and Gilas didn't have enough answers to close the gap:

While missing out on the next round was a disappointment for the Philippines, the day wasn't a total loss, as it dominated Poland 21-8 despite being the No. 19 seed as opposed to Poland being No. 3:

This year's tournament was a nightmarish one for Poland, as it went from being the favorite to win Pool C to leaving China with an 0-4 record.

Romania also lost a pair of games Friday to Hungary and Spain, which cemented a 1-3 record for the sixth-seeded side.

In Pool B, Slovenia continued to assert its dominance with wins over Andorra and Egypt to move to 4-0.

The Slovenians enter the quarterfinals having scored more points than any other team with 82, failing to reach the 21-point plateau just once. They also won every game by at least six points, and it can be argued that they are the favorite to win it all despite the presence of other top teams such as Serbia, Spain and the United States.

Slovenia's spot in the quarters was never in doubt, but the second position in Pool B was very much up for grabs between Uruguay, Indonesia, Andorra and Egypt entering the day.

The Indonesians put themselves in line to potentially seize a knockout spot when they came back in the final minute to beat Egypt 21-20 in one of the tournament's most tightly contested games:

Uruguay also beat Andorra, which meant the final game of the pool round would be a quarterfinal play-in game between the Uruguayans and Indonesia.

The South American side came out on top 21-15, and although Indonesia scored more points than Uruguay during the tournament, the head-to-head tiebreaker put seventh-seeded Uruguay into the quarters where it will meet undefeated Spain.

Women's Recap

Although the men's draw produced a number of undefeated teams, every women's squad lost at least one game in pool play, which speaks to the impressive amount of parity present.

That was on full display Friday, as the quarterfinal representatives from Pool D and Pool A were decided.

Czech Republic scored a dominant 21-10 win over host China and beat out Romania 15-12, while France took care of business with a 21-6 victory against an overmatched Cook Islands team.

That set the stage for a game between undefeated France and 2-1 China, but the Chinese team was already eliminated for all intents and purposes since it would be unable to score enough points to surpass both France and the Czechs on tiebreakers.

Despite that, the hosts turned in their best effort of the tournament, as they upset the French 21-17 to hand them their first loss and go out on a high note.

The margin was even tighter in Group A, as top-ranked Netherlands, Ukraine and New Zealand all finished 3-1.

The Dutch won both of their games Friday in the form of a 20-9 rout of New Zealand and 14-13 victory over Poland to be safely into the knockout round by virtue of their 62 total points.

Ukraine also went 2-0 on the day with wins against both Poland and Indonesia, which put the pressure on the New Zealanders in the final game of the day.

New Zealand needed to win and score 22 points in the process in order to overtake Ukraine for the second spot in the group.

While it only takes 21 points to win a game before the time is up, scoring 22 is possible since a team can make a shot from beyond the arc at the 20-point mark to finish the match with 22.

New Zealand did manage to beat Indonesia, but time ran out before it could get to 22, as it prevailed by a 20-18 score.

Even though New Zealand beat Ukraine in pool play, the fact that there was a three-way tie forced points to be the tiebreaker, and that sent the No. 16 seed packing despite an impressive overall showing that few expected heading into the tournament.
