Georgia pulled away in the second half to top Bulgaria and set up a nervous wait to see if they will be going to the EuroBasket next year.
Georgia's win means they are waiting on the result of the Belgium-Poland game to see if they will be in the top two of the tight Group C.
Georgia had to come back from a seven-point half-time deficit to secure the win.
They had trailed 48-41 after Stefan Georgiev's jump-shot late in the second quarter.
But Nikoloz Tskitishvili's tip-in and free-throw sparked a 9-1 run at the start of the second half that got them back in front and two free throws from Viktor Sanikdze then capped a 10-2 run that put them on top 65-57.
They began the fourth quarter with nine straight points that finally broke the Bulgarian resistance and they cruised to victory to set up a nervous wait.
Sanikdze poured in 27 points and collected 11 rebounds to lead Georgia, while Zaza Pachulia had 14 points and 12 rebounds.
Earl Calloway had 17 points to lead five Bulgarians scoring in double figures.
