After Israel's disappointing loss to Poland, two more games are being held tonight (Monday) at the Israeli home.
In the first game, Nano Ginzburg's Czech Republic won for the first time in the tournament and beat the Netherlands.
At 22:00 the two strongest teams at home, Serbia and Finland, will meet.
Czech Republic - Netherlands 80:88
The host of House D also achieved their first victory in the tournament.
Nano Ginzburg's team, which was disappointed in the first two games, had to manage without its star Tomasz Storanski, who was injured, but in the second half, they played great basketball and reminded of the team that has achieved great things in recent years.
Jan Wesley made up for his friend's loss with 24 points and 7 rebounds in a masterful display.
Holland is a tough and well-trained team that does not break for a moment.
Maurizio Boscaglia's modest team made up the deficit to minus 4 in the last quarter, but as in the game against Israel, it lacks the dime to the pound to win and is already out of the picture for the next stage.
For Israel it would have been better for the Dutch to win, because now the Czech Republic with its home advantage is strong in the fight for the next stage.
