EuroBasket 2015: Giannis provides spark as Greece handle Georgia

Giannis Antetokounmpo hasn't exactly broken out of his EuroBasket shell, but Tuesday's effort against Georgia suggests he's getting back on track.

After failing to crack double-digit scoring in either of Greece's weekend wins, the Greek Freak looked a bit more comfortable on Tuesday, knocking down a pair of threes and scoring 10 of his 12 points in the first half as Greece rolled to a 50-22 intermission lead and held on for a 79-68 win (box score).

While Georgia came back to make a game of it, the Greeks were never seriously challenged as Giannis finished with a solid 12 points (5/9 fg, 2/4 threes), four rebounds, and two blocks in a team-high 28 minutes.
