France beat Georgia 65-58 to secure third place in Group E of the qualifying round and guarantee that they will finish in the top eight.
Leo Westermann had 13 points and eight rebounds as Tahar Assed Liegeon’s men were in control for the better part of the game and, even though they gave up a double-digit lead late in the game, Georgia’s inexperience proved costly as France edged them out.
