You may have to try an alternate Youtube link. But I think that you have to do it Live.
There should be a whole game recap somewhere on Youtube.

Thanks man. You know I didn't realize how late I was and how much shorter these games are lol. Thought it was still going. I'm pacific time and I tried getting on there about 20 minutes ago. Maybe it's because I was late...but I still think I should have been able to catch the last few minutes but it wasnt letting me

Giannis' limitations as a passer/shooter are exacerbated by the smaller FIBA court and the Greeks' lack of ace shooting. He's a much harder guard in NBA rules.

For sure, but you would've figured the 7 footer would obliterate the 6’4 guard, regardless of the rules— interesting that he did not.
Al I’m saying is that I’d like to see what happens if we try this in the regular season. Maybe we get blown up. Or maybe it proves successful and teams dont know what to do against a guard that can legitimately cover bigs for short spurts.
With 1:46 remaining in Team USA’s 69-53 win over Greece, Harrison Barnes poked the ball away and went in for what appeared to be an uncontested dunk.
Thanasis Antetokounmpo wasn’t going to let that happen, and he chased Barnes down hard. Barnes finished the dunk, but Thanasis’ charge was so strong, the momentum carried him through Barnes, fouling him hard and sending him flying out of bounds.
Barnes wasn’t hurt, but Boston Celtics Jaylen Brown and Marcus Smart were among those that let the Antetokounmpo brothers know that they didn’t appreciate the dangerous nature of the play.
“We took exception to that hard foul. The game was pretty much over, and he had no way of blocking the shot,” Smart said after the game. “At that moment, you got to prepare for injuries, and we wouldn’t want nobody to be injured. We just let them know. It’s a learning moment for him. Because if the table was turned and somebody did that to them, we’d probably be having a whole different discussion right now, and we just wanted him to learn from that.
