NEWSTurkey used several scoring spurts in the middle quarters to pull away and eventually crush Lithuania 95-74 and take the bronze medal at the U18 European Championship Men 2009 in Metz, France. The result went some way towards getting the Turks to forget their defeat against Serbia in the semi-final on Saturday. |

Serbia overcame Enes Kanter's monster game to beat Turkey 66-61 and book their place in Sunday's final at the U18 European Championship Men 2009 in Metz, France. Kanter had 32 points and 25 rebounds but the Serbs used some balanced scoring and the strategy paid off as they got one step further than they did in last year's event. |
