Go LIBAN!

Fadi El Khatib was unstoppable as he scored 27 points after half-time - including 16 in the third quarter alone - and pretty much dominated the match in the last two quarters. He finished with a game-high 35, giving his national team their first win ever in basketball championship over Venezuela 82-72.

"This was a tough game but we did very well to recover after half-time. We knew we were going to have a tough challenge against a team like Venezuela but we were well-prepared mentally and physically. We have a lot of motivation and are here to represent the Lebanese people." El Khatib said after the game.

Lebanon has made a huge step into qualifying to the 1/8 round.

Lebanon will play against Argentina tomorrow, Good luck team. Make us proud.
