Friendship the winner

Victory over India may have been all important for Chinese basketball fans on Sunday, but the slogan of the 2017 BRICS Games' - "Friendship comes first" - still shone through in Guanghzhou, Guangdong province.

Revenge was Team China's goal following last year's stunning loss to its regional rival at the FIBA Asia Challenge, but the integrative spirit of the Games was epitomized during one worrying moment for India's Vishesh Bhriguvanshi.

The shooting guard crashed to the floor and curled up in pain, sparking instant concern from both squads.
