How did the teams fare in their group games?
Greece, Jordan, the USA, and New Zealand were always an open group, with little to no doubt about who the group leader was going to be.
The three teams below USA were always in doubt because of how surprising minnows can be. Greece played Jordan in their first round, beating them by 21 points. Thomas Walkup was their star man, dishing out 7 assists.
They then faced a strong Team USA, losing by 27 points. Greece could not find an answer to the stellar combination of Austin Reaves and Anthony Edwards.
New Zealand also faced the same two opponents, and their story was the same. They lost to the US by 25 points, with Paolo Banchero scoring 21 points. Reaves was the playmaker, dishing out 6 assists.
They fared slightly better against Jordan, only managing to beat them in OT. Jordan lost all steam in overtime, letting New Zealand score 10.
Greece vs. New Zealand will determine who will end up in second place, and advance to the next round, but all signs point to Greece winning with little difficulty.
