France, Montenegro score first victories of Eurobasket

France and Montenegro broke through for their first victories of Eurobasket after disappointing games in their openers the past few days. And in both cases, it seemed like it was much of the same kind of production for Orlando Magic players Evan Fournier and Nikola Vucevic.

France took control early, taking a 19-point lead at halftime in a 95-87 win over Greece. Greece, who is playing without Giannis Antetokounmpo, is still considered one of the stronger teams in the tournament. France and Greece are the favorites to win the group.
