EuroBasket 2022: France loses in final despite 23 points from Evan Fournier

France fell behind early and never really recovered, as Spain rode the hot shooting of the Hernangomez Brothers to a 88-76 victory in the EuroBasket 2022 final. Former Knick Willy Hernangomez scored 14 points in the final, while his brother Juancho dropped a game-high 27. Willy walked away with tournament MVP honors — not bad considering this tournament that featured huge names like Nikola Jokic, Giannis Antetokounmpo, and Luka Doncic.

But let us focus on current Knicks. France’s Evan Fournier started off ice cold from beyond the arc, missing his first four three-point attempts. But he turned it on as the game approached halftime.
