Dinos Mitoglou led the way for his country by flirting with a double-double at 20 points and 9 rebounds; on the other side, Nikola Vucevic had a 13-point losing effort with 7 rebounds.
Following their tight win against Sweden, Poland continued on a good note on the way to co-hosting the most anticipated event of the summer, beating Georgia 94-89.
Michal Michalak and Tomasz Gielo combined for 33 points in the Polish national team’s victory, while AS Monaco’s Jordan Loyd followed with 15 points and 4 assists.
On the losing end, the experienced center Giorgi Shermadini concluded with 18 points, while Goga Bitadze and Sandro Mamukelashvili combined for 29 points.
