Turkey topples the Spaniards

Spain led 55-49 with 10 minutes to go but were held to just one basket in the final quarter as Turkey went on a 16-2 run en route to victory.
Turkey's Ersan Ilyasova had a game-high 11 boards to go with his six points.
Turkey outrebounded Spain 37-33.
Spain didn't have their biggest weapon, with Pau Gasol missing the game because of a sprained ankle suffered in their blowout of Lithuania on Sunday.

Interesting as NZ were in the hunt until the last couple of minutes against Turkey.
