OK, let’s get this out of the way: Spain will be the only Knick-laden team moving on to the semifinals of 2017 Eurobasket. The Spaniards handled Germany by the score of 84-72. Willy Hernangomez played sparingly—as has been the custom in these knockout rounds—chipping in a tidy 7 points, 4 rebounds and 1 assist in 14 minutes.
Willy does figure into a couple of these highlights, though, so that’s nice.
But who cares? Our beloved Team Latvia, the greatest club that has ever or will ever featured Kristaps Porzingis, was knocked out by Slovenia in a chippy, offense-heavy contest, 103-97.
