France, Slovenia advance at EuroBasket behind Rudy Gobert, Luka Doncic

BERLIN -- Rudy Gobert scored 20 points and grabbed 17 rebounds as Olympic silver medalist France moved into the EuroBasket quarterfinals by holding off Turkey 87-86 in overtime Saturday.

Gobert had a putback dunk with 2.7 seconds left in regulation to tie the game then scored the first four points of overtime, and France never trailed in the extra session.

"Crazy game," Gobert said.

Crazier finish.

Turkey had what seemed like full control of the game with 12.2 seconds left in regulation. It had the ball, up by two, was going to the foul line for two free throws and would keep possession of the ball after those shots because France had been whistled for an unsportsmanlike foul.
