Why are they giving assists for foul shots?
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

some gritty defense but terrible terrible offense in the 4th. Greece are getting gifted opportunity after opportunity to make this a one posesssion game and they keep wasting them, now its probably over.

Greece had sooo many chances to tie and get a lead.

Always *right there* but then team game kept falling apart.
