Russia Upsets Spain in Eurobasket Finals
Posted on September 17th, 2007 by
It was a very close game and with a 59-58 lead over Russia, Spain passed the ball to their leading scorer Pau Gasol in hopes of solidifying their lead. Unfortunately for Spain, Jon Robert Holden stripped the ball from Pau Gasol, took it up court and scored the game winning basket with two seconds remaining on the clock. Andrei Kirilenko led Russia with 17 points, and the underdogs won their first European basketball championship in 22 years.
