Bosnia and Herzegovina downed Belgium 74-68 (20-13, 16-19, 20-17, 18-19) at an international tournament held in the Estonian city of Tartu.

The 'Dragons' started the game strong, leading by 20-13 in the first quarter. The team coached by Adis Beciragic took the biggest lead in the 26th minute, being up by 14 points (50-36)

Jusuf Nurkic (18 points, 9 rebounds), Miralem Halilovic and Dzanan Musa (14 points each) stood out for Bosnia.

The Belgians occasionally managed to reduce the distance, but nothing more than that.

Once more, Emmanel Lecomte and Pierre-Antoine Gillet were the most effective for the losing side, scoring 11 points apiece. In their first game in Estonia, the 'Lions' lost 66-79 to the hosts behind 18 points by Retin Obasohan and 14 by Lecomte.

On Sunday, the Bosnia and Herzegovina national team will play against hosts Estonia (16:00 CEST).
