Luxembourg 5vs5 men won the semi final game on Friday against Cyprus, the final score was 66:60. After our women team was able to enter the final earlier on Friday, the men's team also qualified and will have a chance to win the gold medal on Saturday. Luxembourg had a fast start and led 8:0 after a highlight dunk by Alex Laurent (198-SF-1993). The FLBB squad kept playing at a high pace and took a 22:8 lead after Malcolm Kreps (195-G/F-2001)' buzzer beater to end the first quarter. However, Cyprus managed to storm back before the break and Luxembourg only had a 4-point lead at half-time (34:30). In a very intense second half, Luxembourg managed to come up with a 6-point victory.
