Overview

• Türkiye crushed Greece 94-68 in Riga to reach its first EuroBasket final since 2001.
• Ercan Osmani led with 28 points and fronted Giannis Antetokounmpo into 12 points, triggering Şengün’s pregame promise to buy him a Rolex for keeping Giannis under 20.
• Şengün posted 15 points, 12 rebounds and six assists in the semifinal and is averaging about 21 points, 11 rebounds and seven assists after a quarterfinal triple-double as the youngest to do so at EuroBasket, drawing praise from Kendrick Perkins as well as Rockets coach Ime Udoka and GM Rafael Stone.
• Türkiye’s approach crowded the paint with help around Osmani, with Şengün saying Giannis is “not a great passer,” as coach Ergin Ataman again relied on a tight eight-man rotation.
• The final against Germany is Sunday at 2 p.m. ET in Riga, with both teams 8-0, and will stream on FIBA’s Courtside 1891.
