Greece was unstoppable in the first half against Georgia (22-50 on 9/12 from the three-point range), behind Nick Calathes’ extraordinary performance (16 points), and with its third consecutive win in the group 68-79, they qualify to the knockout stage.
Calathes ended the game with 19 points and eight assists, while Tornike Shengelia scored 20 (with eight rebounds) for Igor Kokoskov’s team, which is on the brink of elimination now.
Greece was dominant from the beginning (15-25), but Georgia outscored their opponents 26-11 in the third quarter and cut the deficit from 28 points to 11 (50-61). However, the lead remained in double digits for the Greeks, who claimed an easy victory.
