Italy remains unbeatable after three games in the Eurobasket 2013 qualifying round after wining the game against Turkey by 78-69. The “azzurri” had every right to be content after the game, specially Roma’s small forward Gigi Datome who had a big night with 23 points and an impressive dunk, as you can see in the video.
The first two teams of each group and the four best third placed teams will qualify for Eurobasket 2013. The host country Slovenia, France, FYROM, Great Britain, Greece, Lithuania, Russia and Spain have already qualify to the competition.
