Game two of France’s preparation for the 2019 FIBA World Cup went much better than their first contest. After suffering a loss at the hands of Turkey on Monday, Frank Ntilikina and his countrymen responded with a resounding victory over Tunisia. The New York Knicks point guard had another opportunity to build momentum.
For Ntilikina’s part, he was more assertive offensively and was his usual, pesky self on the defensive end. The 94-56 France win was a blowout by the second half, so take this one with a grain of salt.
These tune-up games are a way for Ntilikina to find his rhythm before the World Cup after an injury-plagued 2018-19 season.
