Missing 4 free throws at such a crucial moment, when the game could have turned in your favor, is really terrible. I agree that Spain is going through a generational change, but it has to be much better than this. Even if Spain had advanced, i don’t think they would have gone far in the round of 16, at least that’s how I see it.The NBA players are truly outstanding, and their class is obvious. We’re definitely in for a very exciting knockout stage.
Out of the 90 points scored by Greece, 25 were contributed by Giannis Antetokounmpo. It was tough for Spain to match his stature and experience, as they have a relatively young squad. Antetokounmpo contributed to 14 rebounds as well. Jaime Pradilla and Mario Saint-Supery were in good form during this match, but they can't be compared to an NBA giant like Antetokounmpo. Anyway let's not forget that Spain lost to Georgia last week, and that too by a big margin. This was some sort of an improvement from them.
