INDIANAPOLIS -- Yugoslavia is still alive in the World Championships and is looking a lot more like the team many thought had a chance to repeat as champion.

Peja Stojakovic and Milan Gurovic each scored 16 points Wednesday as Yugoslavia beat Turkey 110-78 in a win-or-else second-round game.

Every country that returned to defend its title left the next World Championships with at least a medal. Now Yugoslavia (4-2) still has that chance by advancing to the quarterfinals, while Turkey (2-4) drops to the consolation bracket.

Yugoslavia's tournament turned around with a new starting lineup that led to easy wins over Brazil and Turkey. Vlade Divac and Stojakovic, teammates with the Sacramento Kings, and Milos Vujanic, a second-round draft choice of the New York Knicks, started for the first time against Brazil and the team played quite differently from the one that struggled to a .500 mark through the first four games.

"It looks like we're moving to the top, so we'll see,'' said Divac, who had six points, five rebounds, four assists and three steals against Turkey in 18 minutes.

The top four teams from each six-team group advanced and the matchups for Thursday's quarterfinals weren't decided until after Wednesday night's games.

Yugoslavia shot 59.7 percent (46-for-77) against Turkey and six players scored in double figures.

"I guess we finally woke up,'' Stojakovic said. "We came together, and we are playing like a team right now. We all sacrificed little things for the team. The games we lost, we didn't play as a team. We have to cover each other's backs and play for each other. That way we get results.''

Yugoslavia has won a record four World Championships, the last in 1998 when a lockout by the NBA forced the United States to use a team of CBA players, European professional and collegians.

Entering this tournament Yugoslavia was considered the second choice behind the United States, which again has a roster full of NBA players.

"This team is playing how they knew they can play, with a high level of intensity,'' Yugoslavia coach Svetislav Pesic said. "It's hard to say whether we can win or not, but of course we will try our best.''

Mehmet Okur, who has signed with the Detroit Pistons, led Turkey with 21 points, while Hedo Turkoglu, who also plays for Sacramento, added 20.

Puerto Rico 89, Angola 87
Jose Ortiz hit a shot in the lane with 0.9 seconds left in the second overtime to give Puerto Rico an 89-87 victory over Angola and the top seed from its group for the quarterfinals of the World Championships.

Puerto Rico (5-1) tied with Spain at the top of the group, but finished first because of its 73-65 victory in their game Tuesday.

Had Puerto Rico lost, it would have dropped into a three-way tie with Brazil and Yugoslavia. The tiebreaker would have had the order Yugoslavia, Puerto Rico, Brazil, meaning Puerto Rico would have played the United States in Thursday's quarterfinals.

Now, Puerto Rico will play New Zealand (3-3) on Thursday.

The 38-year-old Ortiz, playing in his third World Championships, finished with 25 points, including two free throws with 1:56 left in the second overtime that made it 87-87.

Both teams came up empty on two possessions. Miguel Lutonda of Angola (1-5) missed a 3-pointer as the shot clock ran out with 13.8 seconds left to set up Puerto Rico's final possession.

Raymond Dalmau drove hard to the basket from the left side, gave it to Ortiz coming across and he hit the game-winning shot. It was Dalmau's sixth assist of the game.

Joaquim Gomes, who plays for Valparaiso, led Angola with 19 points, while Lutonda had 18, including all seven of his team's points in the second overtime.

Puerto Rico is making its 10th appearance in the World Championships and has never won a medal.

Spain 84, Brazil 67
Pau Gasol had 23 points and 11 rebounds as Spain (5-1) bounced back from its only loss of the tournament. Gasol, the NBA's rookie of the year last season with the Memphis Grizzlies, was 10-for-13 from the field.

Marcel Machado had 25 points for Brazil (4-2), which was held 20 points below its scoring average for the second straight day.

Germany 103, Russia 85
Dirk Nowitzki and Marko Pesic each scored 17 points to lead Germany (4-2) to its first quarterfinal berth in the World Championships.

Germany opened the game with a 15-3 run and the lead was 58-36 at halftime as Nowitzki, an NBA all-star with the Dallas Mavericks had 12 points and six rebounds in the opening 20 minutes.

Zakhar Pachoutine had 28 points for Russia (2-4), which won the silver medal in the last two World Championships.

New Zealand 94, China 88
Phil Jones scored 33 points and New Zealand (3-3) rallied from a 24-point deficit to continue its deepest advance in the World Championships.

Yao Ming, the NBA's No. 1 draft pick by the Houston Rockets, scored 27 points and did not miss a shot for China (1-5). He was 8-for-8 from the field and made all 11 free throws.
