Everything seemed to be on the way to an Israeli sensation.

The first half was perfect - the Blue and Whites shot from outside the arc led by Ben Uncha Shelahat, in the second quarter Noam Yaakov also warmed up, and the team already led the Serbs who seemed to be in shock by 17 points. 

But the second half would look completely different.

The strong team from the Balkans started strong and bit by the Israelis' big margin, and in the last quarter took the lead. 

It seemed that the pressure was also taking its toll, the Israelis missed easy layups - and were unable to score from the penalty line, ending the game with a huge feeling of missing out.
