At the Okinawa Arena, Group F began to close and Georgia forced their way past a depleted Venezuela, dominating from end to end. It’s 70 to 59 to get into the title fight.
With Toko Shengelia as the leading figure, registering 25 points (8/12 in doubles), Ilias Zouros’ men entered the next round. Orlando Magic player Goga Bitadze is on the verge of a double-double with 11 points and 9 rebounds. All nine Georgian players who entered the game scored at least one point.
Venezuela, led by Argentine Fernando Duró, missed out on the championship round losing all three games. Nestor Colmenares closed the game with 16 units and 9 boards.
In Group K, Georgia will join Germany and Australia, waiting for Slovenia or Cape Verde.
