Estonia takes on Latvia on Friday, August 29, at the Arena Riga in Latvia.
It's bounce-back time for Latvia, who is coming off a disappointing 93-73 loss to Turkey last Wednesday. Rihards Lomazs topscored with 16 points on 6-9 shooting, while Arturs Zagars produced 11 markers. NBA veteran big man Kristaps Porzingis struggled in the loss, shooting 3-12 from the field and committing six turnovers.
Most importantly, Latvia's defense was nowhere to be found. They allowed Turkey to shoot 60% from the field, including 15-25 from the three-point line. It's just the first game, but Latvia has to regroup quickly, especially on the defensive end.
Meanwhile, Estonia also sustained a loss in their opening game. They were soundly defeated by the mighty Serbian team, 98-64. Henri Drell and Artur Konontsuk are the only Estonian players who scored in double digits.
Estonia's defense also struggled against Serbia, as they allowed their opponents to shoot 61.4%. Latvia has less offensive firepower when compared to Serbia, but Estonia's defense will be tested again.
Latvia and Estonia last faced each other in EuroBasket 2015, with the former winning, 75-64. They're vastly different teams now, so let's see if Estonia has a winning chance against the hosts.
