Meanwhile, there was a wide spectrum of emotions on the second day of the Final Round as Slovenia bagged a first-ever win and hosts Czech Republic were eliminated. It was the second case of luck for Slovenia as they wrote a historical line by posting a gutsy and compelling 59-56 win against Greece.

In stark contrast, there were tears of sadness rather than elation for hosts Czech Republic as they were eliminated after barely 24 hours. They lost an intense duel 74-70 against Hungary which came after their opening day loss to Ukraine. Even a win against Spain today won't help as their fate is sealed as the fourth-placed team in Group A. It was a brilliant effort by Hungary who had some outstanding contributions and most notably, Zsofia Fegyverneky who had 20 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists.

The most thrilling game of the day came in the capital as Belgium moved to 2-0 after a gripping and famous 76-75 overtime win against Russia. Ann Wauters did great work in the paint with 20 points and 9 rebounds and weighing in some great defensive plays too. Emma Meesseman offered 23 points and 6 boards as they handed Russia their first loss.

Defending champions Serbia are staring down the barrel of a potential early exit after they went 0-2 with a 73-57 loss to unbeaten France. Spain posted a scintillating second-half as they cruised past Ukraine 76-54 with Sancho Lyttle again playing dominant, adding 16 points and 18 boards. Latvia were floundering against Montenegro in the early stages of their Group D clash but completed a stunning comeback.
