Canada opened the men’s basketball tournament at the 2024 Paris Olympics with a gritty 86-79 win over Greece.
It was a star-studded affair, as the game featured two of the five members of this year’s All-NBA First Team with Canada’s Shai Gilgeous-Alexander going head-to-head with Greece’s Giannis Antetokounmpo.
To no surprise, the superstars shined brightest, as Gilgeous-Alexander and Antetokounmpo each made their presence felt in more ways than one. Here is a full look at the box score from Saturday’s Olympic basketball game.
