The match of lunchtime served to test the ambitions of Lithuania against a very launched Germany, but for the national team coached by Kurtinaititis there was nothing to do (88-107). Usual German domain with Wagner, Schroder and Theis above 20 points, and for the center of the monk even 100% from the field. The victory ensures the round of 16 to the reigning world champions. In the afternoon the first joy for Sweden arrives, which exceeds Great Britain 78-59 taking off in the second half thanks to Larsson’s 23 points. In the evening, the double double of Markkanen, who closes at 26 points and 13 rebounds, gives the next round to Finland: Montenegro beaten 85-65.

Once again, however, the feats of Luka Doncic disappoint against the wall of France (95-103). The Olympic vice -champions resist in front of the 39 -point performance, 8 rebounds and 9 assists of Luka Magic and resolve it in the final thanks to Sylvain Francisco, very hot in attack (32 points) with Okobo, and the defense of Sarr. The rich day of games ends with another success in Poland, which exceeds, after a point to point, Israel, 66-64. Still Super Jordan Loyd, which closes at 27 points.
