As the Charlotte Hornets await the beginning of training camp, some of their players are making an impact with their national teams, who are pursuing the FIBA World Cup. On Sunday, Nicolas Batum’s quiet game helped lead his team to a victory over Germany.
Batum’s win comes after the win by his teammate Willy Hernangomez during Spain’s game on Saturday. When all was said and done, Batum’s team pulled off a clutch 78-74 victory.
In this win, Batum finished with 2 points, 3 assists, and 5 rebounds for France. France’s leading scorer was Evan Fournier, who finished with 26 points.
