Hungary's PM praises team; Raieste: They were superior in the second half

The Estonian national basketball team faced a significant defeat against Hungary, losing 67:85 in a FIBA World Cup qualifier held in Miskolc. Following the game, the Estonian players did not offer excuses for their performance, instead openly admitting to playing poorly.

Veteran player Sander Raieste, who has extensive experience playing for top clubs in Spain, commented on the team's struggles. He specifically pointed out Hungary's dominance in the second half of the game. Raieste emphasized the need for the Estonian team to avoid disintegrating under pressure, suggesting a lack of resilience contributed to the lopsided scoreline.

They were superior in the second half in all aspects.

The loss places added pressure on Estonia in their World Cup qualifying campaign. The team's inability to match Hungary's intensity, particularly in the latter stages of the match, highlights areas that require immediate attention and improvement if they are to succeed in their future games.

We cannot fall apart like that.
