Great Britain are out of the EuroBasket after their fourth defeat – a 94-62 loss to Estonia – at the tournament.
Missing the injured Ovie Soko, GB fell behind early to Estonia and never recovered.
The result means that even a win over hosts Italy in their final game- to avoid losing all five of their games – will not keep GB in the tournament.
Hosts Italy beat 81-76 win against Croatia in the final game of the evening in Milan.
That meant that they, Greece, Croatia and Ukraine have qualified for the knockout stages in Berlin over the next two weeks.
With Estonia and GB without a win and looking at an outside chance of sneaking into the second phase, the game only briefly looked like a contest once Estonia established their shooting game.
The Baltic team’s aggressive start cost them early fouls but also brought them easy baskets and open shots as they posted a 36-21 lead after 13 minutes.
“Estonia is a quality team – they’ve taken every team down to the wire so far,” said GB head coach Nate Reinking. “We didn’t have it today and we cracked again.”
That lead grew to 21 points within a minute and a half of the third period starting and later grew beyond 30 points as a dispirited GB went scoreless for the first six and a half minutes of the final quarter as they suffered their worst-ever EuroBasket finals defeat.
Myles Hesson again top-scored for the team with 14 points and Carl Wheatle and Patrick Whelan both added 12.
