Hungary lost their unbeaten record in overtime to Bosnia and Herzegovina (65-66).

The only three-pointer by Bernadett Horvath from Hungary with one minute left in  the fourth quarter was enough to keep the hosts alive and eventually sent the game into overtime.

In the lower classification games for 9th-18th place, Israel made a good start as they eased past Switzerland (63-33) behind a double-double performance by Daniel Raber with 16 points and 14 rebounds.

Also in Group G, Finland led from start to finish as they thrashed Norway (91-23) with everybody scoring.
