Standard Life GB Men fell 79-74 to France on Saturday despite leading 43-25 at half-time.

 

Luol Deng led GB's scoring with 23 (and 12 rebounds) in his first action of the summer, but 14 points each from Yakhouba Diawara and Boris Diaw led France to a strong comeback.

 

GB's last lead was wiped out by a Kevin Seraphin score inside the last 5 minutes and a three point play by Diaw put France up for good.

 

GB's next game will be against Spain on Monday.
