Macedonia did not allow a sensation, so with a victory over Georgia (65:63) they secured a place among the top eight at the European Championship in Lithuania.
The hero of the triumph was, of course, Bo McCaleb - the former Partizan playmaker scored in the last second of the match after an excellent breakthrough.
The Macedonians, by the way, were constantly in the lead, they even had a double-digit advantage (at the end of the third quarter it was 54:44), but Georgia answered in the last part and equalized.
However, McCaleb was stronger than anything... He finished the match with 27 points and was the only one with a double-digit performance in the winning team.
For the Georgians, Tskitishvili scored 20 points (he also had 10 rebounds), and Sanikidze (17) also stood out.
Finland and Russia will meet from 17:20, and in the evening (XNUMX:XNUMX) Slovenia and Greece will play.
