France's Nicolas Batum sucker hit Spain's captain Juan Carlos Navarro with just 23 seconds left in the Olympic quarterfinal match.. Emotions ran high as Spain went on a 10-0 run giving Spain the lead at 57-64 and with only a play or two left. France's Batum, likely out of frustration, ran up behind Navarro who had possession and swung at his midsection from behind. Both teams stormed the court and the refs were able to break the two apart though it took some time to calm both sides down. Batum received an unsportsmanlike foul and the final score of 59-66 favored Spain. Spain will now advance to the semifinals where they will play against Russia, who beat Lithuania earlier today.. Sorry for the lack of audio but I had to set this up quickly so I wouldn't miss it hopefully another video will come up with sound, but for now you can still see what transpired.
