Slovenia won their first European basketball title on Sunday with a 93-85 victory against Serbia. Miami Heat point guard Goran Dragic, playing his last international match, led the way with 35 points as Slovenia, with just two million people, became the smallest country to lift the title since Latvia in 1935. "We were chasing a medal for 25 years and now we have gold -- it's incredible," said Klemen Prepelic, who had 21 points. With the scores level with just over two minutes left, Prepelic hit a clutch shot followed by a Randolph jumper to give Slovenia the breathing space they needed. Earlier, brothers Pau and Marc Gasol scored 26 and 25 points respectively as Spain claimed their ninth European medal in the last 10 editions with a 93-85 win against Russia in the third-place match.
