It was in these matches that our future opponents were decided - on Wednesday (September 9, 9 p.m.), Rimas Kurtinaitis' men will challenge Giannis Antetokounmpo's troops in the quarterfinals.
The latter is the heart and soul of the Greeks - their only defeat came when the NBA star, who averaged 29 points in the championship, was unable to play against the Bosnians (77:80).
Meanwhile, the Israelis, who performed solidly in the first round of the tournament and unexpectedly defeated the French (82:69), remained in last place in Group D and are now preparing for trips to their clubs.
We remind you that at the start of the European Championship playoffs currently taking place in Riga (Latvia), the Lithuanians denied all the critics and confidently broke the Latvian resistance (88:79).
