Russia have reached the semi-finals of the European Basketball Championships following a nail-biting win over France in the quarters.
A closely-fought encounter in Spain saw Russia trail through most of the match….but David Blatt's men finally edged ahead in the last few seconds for a 75-71 win.
Victor Khryapa, with 16 points, was the top scorer for Russia, who reach the last four for the first time in a decade.
Russia will face the winner of today’s Lithuania and Croatia game.
