The Czech Republic national basketball team had a harsh outing against the Latvia national basketball team, losing 109-75 in their final game of the group stage at EuroBasket 2025. The result sealed a winless campaign (0-5) for Czechia in the tournament.
Their top contributors included Martin Peterka who scored 11 points and 6 rebounds, Ondrej Sehnal with 11 points and 8 assists. Vit Krejci added 11 points and Martin Svodoba added 10 points.
Offensively, Czechia just shot 43.1% from the field, including 33.3% from deep and 53.3% from the free throw line. Their offense flatlined after halftime, managing just 12 points in the third quarter. Defensively, they were no better, as they got outrebounded 27-41, failing to protect the boards. Their 8 crucial turnovers also proved costly for them.
Czechia still has a path to the World Cup but only if they regroup quickly, fix the core issues exposed by Latvia, and approach the Qualifiers with renewed discipline and focus.
Sweden nearly pulled off an upset against tournament powerhouse Turkey but came up just short in a hard-fought 85-79 EuroBasket 2025 Round of 16 loss.
Ludde Hakanson led the charge with 16 points and 5 assists, while Pelle Larsson added 15 points, 4 assists and 4 rebounds. Viktor Gaddefors contributed 15 points and 7 rebounds. Simon Birgander added 14 points and 13 rebounds
Offensively, Sweden shot a respectable 46.2% from the field, including 31.8% from the perimeter and 75% from the free throw line, while dishing out 22 assists. However, defensively they got outrebounded 45-33 on the boards and committed 10 crucial turnovers and 24 fouls.
The loss to Turkey hurts in terms of confidence and seeding, but it doesn’t jeopardize Sweden’s entry into the 2027 qualifiers. If anything, it highlights where they need to tighten up and could fuel a stronger, more focused campaign.
