After time requested by Nick Nurse, the defensive adjustment had an effect on the game and the local placed a quick 8-0 to get to a minimum. But in the Czech Republic there was a man who had his hand placed in a sea of flames, Schilb kept putting everything he threw and the Europeans closed 29-27 up. In the second quarter the Czech figure could no longer unbalance as in the first 10 minutes and the team felt it. In Canada, RJ Barrett appeared and the locals came to equalize in 36, but quickly the Czechs now commanded by Patrik Auda stretched a small advantage that Jaromir Bohacik was in charge of stretching with a triple with 7 seconds remaining, leaving the score 52-44 for those of the old continent.

Something that continued in the rest of the quarter and that suited the Europeans very well, who, under Blake’s hand, went to the last quarter, winning 67 to 60. The last quarter continued to be even and that made the match easier for the European team. . Canada tried anyway, but relied heavily on what Nickeil Alexander-Walker and RJ Barrett could do. In addition, the local team abused the three-point shot a lot with just 19%, while the Czech team had 52%, led by Blake Schilb with 7/8 to close a great game. When everything seemed settled in the absence of 50 seconds when Canada lost by 9 points.
