Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo scores 27 points in Greece's 89-85 win over Croatia at EuroBasket tournament

MILAN -- Giannis Antetokounmpo simply took over with the game on the line.

And as usual, he did it on both ends of the floor.

Antetokounmpo scored 27 points and grabbed 11 rebounds, Tyler Dorsey also finished with 27 points and Greece held off Croatia 89-85 in the opening Group C game for both teams at the EuroBasket tournament on Friday.

"Giannis, he did his job," Croatia coach Damir Mulaomerovic said.

That he did, especially in the final moments.

Croatia had the ball, trailing 84-82, with 57 seconds left when Ivica Zubac tried to score from down low.
