The end of France’s preparation for the upcoming Eurobasket can be considered a good omen for the tournament. In Slovenia, the country organizing the European championship, France beat the hosts 70-65 in a game that was decided in the last minute thanks to a big three by Antoine Diot (68-65) 23 second before the final whistle.
Earlier on Saturday, Israel announced its final roster for the tournament, a team consisting of Limonad, Nissim, Tyus, Eliyahu, Casspi, Pnini, Ohayon, Halperin, Kozikaro, Green, Kadir and Hanochi.
