In a very unpredictable game that was decided at the last second, Latvia defeated Turkey 81-79 with Meiers’ basket. Korkmaz was very good and he seems like he’s ready for the men’s team!

In Saturday’s second game in Hamburg’s tournament, Latvia defeated Turkey 81-79, a result that hands Hamburg’s “Supercup” to the hosts, Germany. The interesting friendly game was decided with a basket by Martins Meiers 1 second before the expiration.

The game was close with several alternations in the scoreline from beginning to end, when both teams could have won. For the winners, 5 players scored double digits, while for Ataman, who didn’t have the injured Osman as his disposal but who gave time to Furkan Korkmaz (11 points, 7 rebounds), 4 players scored more than 10 points. Melih had 16 and the pair of centers, Erden and Savas, had 14 and 15 respectively.
