Despite the victory, Spain saw Juancho Hernangómez leaving the court in the first half due to shoulder issues and his condition is expected to be evaluated soon.
Evan Fournier led the French selection with a 20-point performance, followed by Nando De Colo who posted 17 points and 7 rebounds.
The two teams will face each other again on Saturday (10/7), this time in Paris, France.
