Spain 75 – Montenegro
The entire game was a battle for Spain who struggled with foul trouble during the final stretch. The tough defense that Spain has shown throughout the Eurobasket Championships is too much for its rivals, even the referees. During the final minutes of the last quarter, Spain’s key players gave them the edge, Anna Cruz and Marta Xargay led the way with key shots and plays.
Spain will face France on Friday night 20:30 local time.
Alba Torrens led Spain with 28 points and Laura Nicolls captured 16 rebounds. Angelica Robinson scored 23 points and 7 rebounds for Montenegro.
