Interactive Hang-Time News by Email Hoopchat Frequently Asked Questions Irish win game of two halves
Outsanding performances from team captain Jay Larranaga, and a white hot Tim Kennedy and Mike Mitchell produced another incredible result for Ireland in their European Championships odyssey as they pulled back a 16 point first half deficit to beat Macedonia 75-68 at the National Basketball Arena last night, the first win in the group for Bill Dooley's side.
If ever there was a game of two halves, then this was it. Tepid and off the boil for the first half, it was a transformed Irish side that reappeared after the break and they produced a thrilling second half performance to pull ahead for their first win of the semi-final round, Mitchell leading the victors with 17.
Petar Naumoski hit a team-high 14 for FYROM.
The Irish now have a break until January, when they play Cyprus away on January 23rd, and Bosnia at home on the 26th.
