Assem Marei's free throw just 16 seconds before the end of 4th quarter would have sealed the win for Egypt against Macedonia which had a horrible shooting night specially in the first 3 quarters.It's no doubt that head coach Amr Abu El Kheir added more to the team and made it play at a better level compared to their performance during last African Cup of Nations but he wasn't taking the best decisions in the 4th quarter despite playing quality basketball in the first and 3rd quarters
