The win secures them a Round of 16 matchup against the winners of Group B on Saturday.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1614\" data-end=\"1926\">Portugal had control after an 11-0 run bridging the third and fourth quarters, but Estonia fought back through Artur Konontsuk\u2019s three consecutive triples to take a 64-61 lead. With the game on the line, Rafael Lisboa stepped up, hitting a deep three and calmly sinking four free throws in the closing seconds.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1928\" data-end=\"2231\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">Even with star center Neemias Queta ejected in the third quarter after two technical fouls (15 points before leaving), Portugal\u2019s resilience made the difference. Forcing 17 turnovers and scoring 19 points off them, the Portuguese sealed a famous win that writes a new page in their basketball history.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"flex min-h-[46px] justify-start\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"mt-3 w-full empty:hidden\">\n<div class=\"text-center\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<div class=\"pointer-events-none h-px w-px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" data-edge=\"true\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lisboa shines with 17 points, including clutch plays late.
