Georgia NT beat Portugal NT 98–90
Neemias Queta finished with 20 points, 11 rebounds and 4 blocks across 30 minutes, but it was not enough to prevent Portugal from falling to Georgia 90–98 in World Cup qualifying on home soil. The centre was nearly flawless from the floor, shooting 8 of 10, and controlled the interior with authority. His work on the glass and at the rim offered Portugal their most reliable scoring avenue; he added 3 assists and a steal while turning the ball over just once. A composed, efficient performance—exactly what the hosts needed. Yet Georgia's offence found ways through. The eight-point margin ultimately reflected how evenly the sides competed; Queta's individual output could not shift the balance. Portugal's hopes of climbing Group I now depend on tightening their overall execution in what remains.
