Spain defeats Hungary and will be in the Paris Olympic Games. Miguel Méndez's team came back 22 points and took the victory in a heart-stopping finale (73-72), which left the Hungarian team without a ticket for the Olympic event.
Spain's victory allowed the Canadian team, led by the Spanish Víctor Lapeña, to achieve its ticket to Paris. The locals had an overturned pavilion, packed for the match in which they were playing for their first place in the Games since 1984.
