Antetokounmpo was hot early, but when Spain cut the lead to six entering the fourth quarter, Giannis re-entered the game and scored eight points on a 10-2 run that put the Greeks up by 14, and they never looked back.
For Giannis, this is more than just a chance to represent Greece, it’s a chance to do it with his family — that’s what most motivates him. But you can read more about that on NBC Sports in the coming days.
