Toulouse, France, 22nd June - The best Yugoslav basketball players achieved their second win at the Eurobasket '99, but opposite to the match with Israel of yesterday in which the current European leader expressed the maximum engagement, this evening the Yugoslav team played with as much engagement as it was sufficient for winning.
The Yugoslav team head coach Zeljko Obradovic was particularly dissatisfied with defense in the first half time in which Macedonians realized even 40 points.

Our basketball players were not better at the beginning of the second half time. Macedonians used their indolence and in the 25th minute reduced the precedence to only 54:52. It was a sign to Yugoslav players to start playing seriously and finally achieve the convincing victory of 83:68.
Yugoslavia will play its last mach in the group against France on June 23 in Toulouse.
Location: Hall in Toulouse. Attendance: 3,000.
