GB put on show in OT win over FYR Macedonia in 2010 – condensed game

Could this be the most entertaining game in GB basketball history? Throwback to August 2010 as part of EuroBasket 2011 qualifiers, Great Britain got past FYR Macedonia – who were led by Bo Mccalebb (who had 30) – in an OT thriller.

After GB went up comfortably early, Macedonia stormed back into the game in the second half, leading by 7 with two minutes remaining before GB came up with some huge baskets including a three from Luol Deng with 5 seconds remaining to force OT.
