TEL AVIV (FIBA EuroBasket 2017) - Georgia remained in the running for the Final Phase of the FIBA EuroBasket 2017 by beating Israel 104-91 in Group B and also eliminating the host team.

Tornike Shengelia collected a monster double-double of 25 points and 19 rebounds and Zaza Pachulia added 19 points and 11 rebounds in picking up the win to improve to 2-2 in Group B in Tel Aviv. Georgia can still finish as high as second in the group but also fail to advance, though there is a scenario where Georgia would advance even with a loss against Italy.

Gal Mekel's 23 points, and a further 19 from Richard Howell were not enough as Israel were eliminated with a 1-3 record.
