Ukraine secured an important 92-79 road victory over Georgia in a FIBA Basketball World Cup European Qualifier on November 28, 2025. The win bolstered Ukraine's position in the qualifying group, thanks to a dominant second-half performance. Georgia started strong, feeding off the home crowd to take an early lead behind their interior scoring. However, Ukraine's defensive adjustments after halftime changed the game, as they began forcing turnovers that fueled a devastating transition offense. A 15-2 run in the third quarter broke the game open, and Ukraine's shooters caught fire from beyond the arc to extend the lead to over 20 points. Georgia mounted a late rally but could never close the gap to single digits. This result was a significant step for Ukraine in their quest to reach the next World Cup.
