Having already recorded three straight wins in the
tournament’s group stage, the Greek Men’s Basketball team
secured the first place in Group C in the FIBA Eurobasket
2015 with a 83-72 victory over Slovenia.
The game was decisive for the fate of the group, as Greece
and Slovenia were the first and second teams respectively, with a one point
difference, prior to Greece’s victory.
The Greeks came on top in all four quarters, though
Slovenia resiliently fought back in the third and fourth quarter and ultimately
reduced Greece’s lead to just two points. However, the comeback never
materialized.
In the next round that includes 16 teams, Greece will face
the fourth team of Group D. That team is yet to be determined as crucial games
for the group’s standings will be played later
on Wednesday evening and on Thursday.
Greece’s final group game is against the Netherlands on
September 10.
