WATCH: Stadium erupts after last-second shot sends Malta basketball team to semi-finals
Local
The Ta’ Qali basketball pavilion erupted on Thursday night after Malta’s national basketball team scored a breathtaking three pointer in the final seconds to secure a spot in the FIBA Championship for Small Countries semi-final.
Trailing Andorra by just two points, Tevin Falzon’s ultimate three-pointer locked in Malta’s 72-70 score and got supporters on their feet in support of the national team.
Andorra, one of Group A’s gold medal favourites, were handed a defeat by the Maltese national team, which will now play the winners of Friday’s match between Azerbaijan and San Marino for a spot at Sunday’s FIBA final.
Come on Malta!
