Paris 2024 Paralympics: Great Britain and the U.S. win spots in the wheelchair basketball gold-medal game
“Defensively, we were as good as we’ve been. Our mentality coming into this was to be as horrible to play against as we were in the past. We tried to go back to our defensive principles, and that showed today: keeping a world-class team to 40-something points. That’s where our win comes from today – our defence.”
Making it to the semi-final means that Great Britain will improve on their finish in the last two Paralympics. They won bronze at Rio 2016 and Tokyo 2020. The last time Great Britain was in a gold medal game in men’s wheelchair basketball was at Atlanta 1996.
Warburton was clear on his team’s objective for Saturday’s gold-medal game.
“We came here with one job. Silver’s not enough for us. We’re in the gold medal game, that’s what we came for. Whoever it is, whenever it is, we’re ready to go.”
