Detroit Pistons’ Ilyasova, Turkey beaten by Gasol, Spain

Detroit Pistons’ Ersan Ilyasova started off his EuroBasket 2015 campaign with a bang, leading Turkey to a win on a go-ahead basket with 45 seconds remaining.

However, against Pau Gasol and Spain, Ilyasova and his team wouldn’t be so lucky as they fell behind early.

From Eurbasket2015.org:

Stats Don’t Lie: Spain dominated all aspects of the clash but their superiority on Sunday was especially evident in their outlandish field goal percentage, 64.5% from the floor. The two-time EuroBasket champions ran in the open court, dished out a collective 24 assists and scored a big amount of their buckets in secondary transition.
