SLOVENIA STUN SPAIN TO MAKE FINAL

By on September 14, 2017

Slovenia knocked holders Spain out of EuroBasket 2017 with a 92-72 semi-final rout in Istanbul.

And it wasn’t even close, with the Slovenes – inspired by Goran Dragic – pulling away with a 6-0 run at the start of the third quarter after leading 49-45 at half-time.

And with Spain’s seven strong NBA contingent struggling, 14-25 shooting from three-point range took Slovenia out of reach with Dragic scoring seven of his 15 points in the fourth to guide his nation to their first major final – against either Serbia or Russia on Sunday.

Pau Gasol had a game-high 16 points for Spain.

Do you like our work?

We have a tiny favour to ask. In 2018 we set out to make Hoopsfix sustainable by building our relationship directly with our readers. Up until now, Hoopsfix has been creating editorials, videos and podcasts to provide sorely missing coverage of the British game and its distinct culture and community.

We have funded Hoopsfix with our freelance work creating basketball media, but sadly that means not only does it fall behind our client’s priorities, but some of those clients are the same organisations we need to report objectively on putting us in a conflicted position.

We want to devote more time to our mission of helping British basketball reach its potential, and produce even more content for the basketball community by making Hoopsfix a sustainable 100% independent business funded directly by our readers through Patreon.

If everyone who enjoys our content chose to support us, our future would be much more secure. For as little as $3 per month, you can support Hoopsfix – and it only takes a minute.

We are tremendously honoured and humbled to have a community of people who value what we do, and we look forward to being at the forefront of the British game as it continues to evolve.
