Estonia beats Macedonia in basketball pre-qualifier, only hope now is a second place finish


Estonia beat Macedonia in the crucial World Basketball Championship pre-qualifier and won first place in Group C.

At the game in Tallinn, Estonia beat Macedonia 74 to 65, winning the game in the final quarter after an otherwise evenly tied match. Macedonia’s offensive game collapsed in the final minutes, which gave away the game. Jordan Theodore scored 19 points for Macedonia and Vojdan Stojanovski added for the team.

Macedonia’s only chance now is in Estonia beating Kosovo in the final match, which would mean a second place group finish for our team and a seat in the qualifiers.
