Giannis Antetokounmpo's first weekend of EuroBasket action was a letdown individually, but the bigger picture for Greece has proven much more promising. After a relatively straight forward opening day win, the Greeks came back to earn a hard-fought 72-70 win over the host Croatians on Sunday, putting them in pole position of Group C with a stretch of three games in three days starting today against Georgia (11 am CT on ESPN3.com/WatchESPN).
Despite the win it was a frustrating Sunday for Giannis, who ended the night with a modest six points (3/6 fg, 0/1 threes), three rebounds and an assist in 19 minutes.
