Heurtel sends France and Great Britain to Eurobasket 2022
Nanterre guard decides matchup vs Montenegro with clutch ending.
There are only two spots left for Eurobasket 2022 as two late free throws by Thomas Heurtel have sorted out the situation in Group G, qualifying both France and Great Britain to the tournament.
France has narrowly beaten 73-71 Montenegro in Podgorica to advance. Former Barcelona guard Heurtel ended the game with 16 points in 26’, with Chassang adding 11 and M’Baye 10. Montenegro had 17 points from Popovic and 16 from Simonovic, and got eliminated from Eurobasket because of Great Britain’s buzzer beating win over Germany (83-81, Olaseni 20+8, Nelson 17 with the game winner).
