Sheeeesshhh. Rudy came through with the volleyball spike block on this poor Russian dude. My goodness. He was up so high he had to wait on the ball before he sent it flying back whence it came.

MUSCLE GIANNIS IS HERE. What a ridiculous block this was. I mean, this dude really almost hit his head on the backboard.

Alessandro dice no

SWAT Team stand up. Gentile was the latest player to join the EuroBasket SWAT Team with this nice recovery swat of Dennis Schröder.

Danilooooo Galinarrrrriiiiiii. The Rooster was clucking today, knocking down the clutch jumper to send the game into overtime, and then hitting the shot that would give them the lead for good with just about a minute left.
