Wards Bagatskis could not stop the leader of the rivals, Giannis Antetokounmpo.
Ukraine failed to extend its winning streak at the European Basketball Championship. In the competition for the first place in the group, the wards of Ainars Bagatskis were defeated by one of the main favorites to win the tournament – the Greek team.
Remember that the first half of the floor meeting is an even match. The Blue-Yellows even went to a big break leading +7 points in the score. However, the failure in the third quarter completely deprived our team of a chance to win. The Ukrainians lost the segment with a score of 11:32. The main problem was the leader of the Greeks, Giannis Antetokounmpo, who played.
In the last quarter, our team tried to catch up with the opponent, but Antetokounmpo again blocked all efforts, eventually becoming the best player of the match, scoring 41 points and making 9 rebounds.
