Press service of Georgian Basketball Federation contacted Davit Ustiashvili, coach assistant of the national team, after the lost game to Bosnia and Herzegovina (63:68).

- The last minutes of the game turned out tense. As the score was equal at the last moment, the both teams wanted to win.

When the last minute of the game started we were losing with one point. The Bosnians had the ball and they missed the offence. Unfortunately, we could not rebound and the Bosnians possessed the ball again.

40 seconds before the end of the game the Bosnians had 20 seconds for offence but Mirza Teletovic scored 3 points from 9 meters. I do not know why he did it but he scored it. We were losing with 4 points, missed offence and lost the game.

- What can you say about Ricky Hickman?

- Hickman played for 20 minutes and earned 10 points. We expect more from him. Manuchar Markoishvili injured leg in the first quarter. He played till the second quarter and as his leg still hurt we substituted him. Today doctors will examine him and we will decide whether he will play against Bosnia tomorrow or not.

- What can you say about other members of the team?

- Giorgi Tsintsadze earned 17 points. He played quite well.

- Only 12 players were on the list.

- Duda Sanadze and Giorgi Sharabidze did not play today. They will be on the list tomorrow.
