With their semi finals place already secured, the result mattered little but England Under-16s took care of business anyway, beating Slovenia 63-58, and moving to 6-0 at the 2011 Division B European Championships in Macedonia.
Down 16-10 after one quarter, England responded with ruthless intensity as they dominated the second period, outscoring Slovenia 23-7, to give themselves a lead they would not give up the rest of the game.
Kingsley Okoroh had a monster game on the boards, finishing with 18, along with 8 points, 3 assists and 4 blocks. Dwayne Orija and Mo Soluade led the scoring with 11 points each, whilst Luke Nelson added 10 points and 6 assists.
