Greece led by as many as 12 points (21-9) in the first quarter, but Germany managed to tie the game at 36 before halftime. The second half, though, was a different story. Orlando Magic star Franz Wagner was running the show, and Germany had game control in their hands.

Franz finished the game with a team-best 18 points (8/17 FG, 1/2 FT). Team captain Dennis Schroder added 13 points (5/12 FG) and 8 assists. Johannes Thiemann also ended up in double digits with a 10-point and 6-rebound performance.

Giannis posted 22 points (9/14 FG, 4/6 FT) on the other end. He played for almost 34 minutes and also had 2 rebounds and 3 assists. Thomas Walkup aided him with 12 points, while captain Kostas Papanokolaou registered 10 points and 9 rebounds.

This time, Greece finished the tournament with one win in four games. They defeated Australia in the last group-stage match.

Giannis averaged 25.8 points per game in the Paris 2024 Olympics.
