Greece beat 70-56 Turkey in the first friendly game between the two teams. The second one will be held on Friday at Istanbul.
This time the hosts dominated the game from the first moment. The good news for Greek NT coach Katsikaris was the return of Nick Calathes who played his first game after the end of his FIBA ban and helped his team to run in the transition. Also, Giannis Antetokounmpo was great and was applauded by the Greek fans in his first game in front of them with the NT. Vladimiros Jankovic was out of the roster and probably he will not travel to Spain.
On the other hand, Turkey had bad shooting percentages, didn’t have a go-to-guy in scoring and coach Ataman is still searching for solutions.
