Poland vs. Israel final score: Polish lose 75-73 but still advance to the knockout rounds

The result wasn't what we were hoping for but we will

Poland has qualified to the next round of EuroBasket 2015. That's the good news. The bad news is they lost to Israel, 75-73 in really bad fashion.

It all looked very promising to Marcin Gortat and his teammates after the first quarter of the game. Gortat was taking full advantage of his size in the post and scored 8 points.

Poland led 24-22 thanks to energetic start and very efficient shooting - 11 of their 18 FG attempts made. But the next ten minutes were disastrous - 10 turnovers and only 8 scored points says all.
