| | | 20 September 2009 France held off Croatia for a 69-62 win to take fifth place at EuroBasket 2009 in Katowice on Sunday. Antoine Diot scored 18 points and Nando de Colo added 15 as the French used a 9-0 run in the first quarter to break a 9-9 score and they did not relinquish the lead the rest of the way. | |

After loosing four games that would have sent them to EuroBasket 2009, the French national team finally didn't choke on the return leg of its Additional Qualifying Tournament final against Belgium. Well prepared by this full month of competition, France has the potential to make a great run, but consistency has never been their forte. |
