The US national team came up short against Germany in the FIBA World Cup semifinal. The team attempted a late rally after suffering a mean third-quarter surge but ultimately fell short of Germany's balanced attack and unwavering energy. Germany will meet Serbia, who dispatched Canada on the strength of a stifling defense and 23 points from star NBA guard Bogdan Bogdanovic.

ESPN is streaming all FIBA World Cup games in the US across its various platforms. The third-place matchup and final will air on ESPN Plus.

If you're a cord-cutter and want to access ESPN2 temporarily, you could opt for a service such as Sling Orange or Fubo TV. Sling is usually $40 a month, but your first month is currently cut to $20, and you can cancel anytime. Fubo TV is much more expensive at $75 a month, but you can get a 7-day free trial before moving on to a rolling one-month deal.

Or, if you have a VPN, you can watch the game for free using the broadcasts described above.
