Pau Gasol and Spain dashed France's hopes of capturing EuroBasket gold on Thursday, rolling to an 80-75 overtime victory and setting up a final against the victor of Friday's match between Serbia and Lithuania.
Orlando Magic wing Evan Fournier played a minor role for France in the loss, shooting 1-of-2 from the floor for three points in six minutes. His night got off to a nice enough start as he drained a three-pointer 17 seconds after checking in, but he committed three personal fouls, including two within seven seconds of each other on the same second-quarter possession.
