Mike Lenzly led the GB scoring with 16 points, while Joel Freeland had an impressive 14 point, 16 rebound double-double and added four blocks for good measure. Youngster Dan Clark had ten points - all in the first half - while Nick George completed a good weekend with nine points.

Yotam Halperin had a huge night for the Israelis with 29 points, seven assists, three steals and three rebounds. Lior Eliyahu added 16 points and Gal Mekel 14 for Israel as they finished second in the tournament.

Britain struggled on the boards, being out-rebounded 47-33, but coach Chris Finch will be pleased with how his depleted line-up coped with a demanding three games in as many days.

Halperin opened the scoring with a three point play after 13 seconds and Ido Kozikaro quickly made it 5-0 before Dan Clark got Britain off the mark.

Nate Reinking sunk a trey to level the score, and Clark put GB on level terms with a turn-around jump shot off the glass.

Nick George sunk a trey to give Britain their first lead of the game, and the three-point onslaught continued with Mike Lenzly hitting a trey as GB opened a 13-9 lead.

Lenzly converted an old-fashioned three-point play, but that was answered by a trey from Lior Eliyahu at the other end.

A Freeland jam kept GB ahead by two, but Halperin took his tally to eight with a trey as Israel took their first lead of game at 19-18.

Halperin again punished GB from outside as he sunk a trey to give Israel a 25-19 lead, before Justin Robinson beat the shot clock to cut through the defence and lay the ball in, and the visitors went20into the first break with a 27-21 lead.

Randall Hanke opened the scoring for GB in the second period with a single free-throw, and a Clark stuff made it a three point game.

Clark reduced the arrears to one with seven on the clock, but a Halperin and-one in a five point run put Israel back in charge.

Freeland and Lenzly made it a two point game again, and Clark took his tally to double figures with another good move as Britain stayed in touch and when coach Finch called a timeout with 3:57 on the clock the visitors led 40-34.

Freeland scored, but missed the bonus, as GB came out of the time out strongly, but Halperin latched onto a turnover to take his tally to 18 after just 17 minutes of action.

Freeland ended a points drought at both ends to make it 42-38 going into the final minute of the half, and with Freeland fouled with just 0.8 seconds remaining he hit one from two at the charity stripe to cut Israel's lead to 42-39 at half-time.

A great move saw Freeland open the second half scoring, but he missed the subsequent and-one, and Clark's two attempts at the rebound came to nothing.

Gal Mekel got Israel off the mark for the half with George replying at the other end to keep Britain within two but a Mekel trey made it a five point game again.

Lenzly hit his second trey of the game only to see Guy Pniny reply from downtown, and coach Finch was forced to call a timeout as Israel's lead grew to 57-48 with 4:49 on the clock.

Halperin converted an and-one to put the visitors up 63-53 with 2:33 on the clock before Hart drained a shot clock beaten to make it an eight point deficit.

Hart missed a late three-pointer before George grabbed a defensive rebound to keep the margin at ten going into the final break.

Yuval Naimy scored the first points of the fourth period before picking up a technical foul. Robinson converted both shots and George hit a long two to20make it an eight point game.

Clark picked up his fourth foul with 7:16 on the clock and GB 67-59 down, but four more Israeli points saw Finch call a timeout with 5:40 remaining.

George trimmed two off the margin coming out of the timeout before two buckets forced another Britain timeout. The break again worked with Reinking hitting a trey to make it 75-64 and Lenzly also scored from downtown to make it an eight point game as Israel called a timeout with 1:56 on the clock.

Hart hit a pair from the line to make it 75-69 with 1:09 left after a technical foul was called on the visitors, but Clark saw his three rim out before leaving the game on five fouls and Israel wrapped up the win from the line.
