Russia European Champions


Russia defeated Spain 60-59 in the Finals of the Eurobasket after a very intense game. Russia was trailing during the whole game but staying within striking distance. In the end Pau Gasol missed key free throws, Russia made big steals and Spain was only leading by one. Russian point guard Holden nailed a big shot (luckily). With 2 seconds remaining Gasol then missed (unluckily) his last shot which gave Russia the title.
Kirilenko was named MVP with 17 points in this game.
