I love Giannis with all my heart.
I’m so proud that he’s Greek and loves his country as much as I do.
For me — even though I’m biased — he’s the best player in the world.
But, after a loss like this, he should’ve been the first player to address the media. – 7:07 PM

Germany’s offense was too much for Greece as Giannis Antetokounmpo and company are eliminated.

Germany land a #eurobasket semi-final against Spain with a 107-96 upset of Greece.
18-1 run at the start of the third spurred the hosts.
Dennis Schroder had 26 points before his ejection with 3 mins left.
Giannis had 31p, 7r and 8a but an international title still elusive – 4:39 PM

Tony East @TEastNBA
Daniel Theis and Germany take down Giannis and Greece and they’re on to the semi-finals of EuroBasket. They’ll take on Spain next. Germany guaranteed 2 more games – even in a loss to Spain, they would play in the third-place game. – 4:39 PM

That Giannis Antetokounmpo was bogus. The NBA would (rightly) never let that second “unsportsmanlike foul” call happen. – 4:28 PM

Giannis tried to cut Germany’s lead almost all alone. This is not gonna work in any space. Gremans are controlling the tempo easliy. Terrible 2nd half for Greece #GERGRE #EuroBasket – 4:21 PM

Germany’s defense on Giannis in this third quarter is UNREAL – 3:54 PM

Eric Nehm @eric_nehm
Germany has changed their defensive coverages up a bit and they’re switching Schroder onto Antetokounmpo more willingly, but Greece just hasn’t been able to take advantage of that mismatch yet. – 3:46 PM

If you think 🇬🇷 Giannis Antetokounmpo might have a poor first half again, think again.

They have been fighting hard throughout this first half and Greece has now tied the game at 44 just a few minutes before halftime.

That’s a calm and composed first seven minutes from Greece. They could have lost their heads as the Germans hit 7 of their first 8 3-point attempts, but instead they just kept with them.
Antetokounmpo has 13 points on 6-of-7 FG. Germany up, 28-25, with 2:50 left in Q1. – 2:46 PM
