Georgian national basketball team was defeated by Bulgaria in the Group A game with a score of 80:92, making it difficult for them to progress to the playoffs of the competition.

As the Head coach Ilias Zouros said in post-match comments, the Georgian national basketball team needs to “find our soul” to win. He was clearly dissatisfied with the result in the aftermath of the game, saying “if we had defence we would win” in comments for the press.

In order to progress from their group, the national team now needs to win against Montenegro on Wednesday, September 7, in their final group match, while also depending on Belgium to defeat Bulgaria.
