After already securing the first place, Greece closed the group stage tonight (Thursday) with a perfect balance of five victories, after beating Estonia 69:90, who came to the game having already lost a chance to advance.
The one who starred, of course, is Yannis Antetokounmpo who finished with 25 points on 9 of 10 from the field, along with 5 rebounds and 4 assists, all this in 19:20 minutes. However, the Greek Freak worried his team ahead of the rest after he twisted his ankle in the middle of the third quarter and did not play again.
The game itself was one-sided, and already at halftime Greece led by 15 points at halftime (36:51) and by 26 (43:69) in the third quarter. It was the first match where the Greeks had a full squad including Kostas Antetokounmpo making his tournament debut. Next to Yannis, Kostas Sloukas stood out with 11 points, Nick Klaaths scored 9 and Tyler Dorsey 8. Sim-Sander Vena led the Estonians with 19 points, Kerisa and Vinari Yusar scored 12 each.
