Slovenia vs. Germany
Slovenia and Germany were the first two teams to tip off quarterfinal action. Slovenia ran away with it, winning 94-70, ending Germany's time in Tokyo.

Italy vs. France
Italy and France put on quite a show in the penultimate men's quarterfinal tilt.
The first half was incredibly tight as both teams traded momentum swings ad nauseam. Rudy Gobert, of course, had a big impact for France in the first half, logging 12 points and three rebounds while wreaking havoc in the defensive end.
The French began to pull away after outscoring Italy 21-12 in the third quarter, but the Italians fought back to keep things interesting in the fourth, tying the game up once again at 66. Gobert continued to dominate in the paint, though, and France ultimately earned the 84-75 win to move on to the semis.
