EuroBasket: France Defeats Slovenia – Qualification Imminent

At the end of a stifling meeting, the French overthrew the Slovenia of Luka Donnteic (103-95), Saturday in Katowice, Poland, in the shock of group D of the Euro Basketball. The Blues, led by the very good performances of Alexandre Sarr (12 pts, 5 rebounds) and Sylvain Francisco (32 pts), take the head of their hen alone after this second day and will already be able to see the eighth in the event of victory against Israel on Sunday, at 5:00 p.m. Olympic vice-champions found the fault definitively at the end of the fourth quarter, notably thanks to its leader Sylvain Francisco. The latter simply exploded his record of points in the French team (32 pts). Alongside Elie Okobo, one of the five three -color players to have passed the ten -point mark (Okobo, Francisco, Zaccharie Risacher and Alexandre Sarr), he allowed the French to resist the final attempts at Donic. What bring the Blues closer to their first objective a little more: Riga, and the final phase.
