Nobody expected Turkey to lose but at the same time nobody really took fatigue into consideration. I mean Turkey played against USA one of the most run and gun teams out there and they had to play with them for over 45 minutes, that is a lot of time  to play against these teams, just to give an example Ersan Ilyasova who is a veteran in NBA right now and a great player had a wonderful game against USA and finished with 23 points and 14 rebounds. Dude ended the Chezch game with 0/9 shooting from the floor with only 6 points coming from free throws that's it.

Furkan and Cedi had 40 points combined of the 76 points Turkey had but they failed to bring in any other player into the game, I think it was mostly Furkan and Cedi scoring that much causing the team to lose actually, if the team could play a well all around team play instead of relying on talented players ISOing than they could have won but nobody gave effort on neither offense nor defense because they were super tired.
