 South Sudan's basketball team came close to achieving one of the biggest shocks in sport on Saturday when they led a United States team made up of NBA stars before losing by a single point. South Sudan led at halftime at the Olympic warm-up game in London and went ahead again with 20 seconds to go. The American team grabbed victory with just eight seconds remaining. Wani Joseph, coach for the under-16 team in South Sudan, told the BBC that supporters in Juba were jubilant.
