EuroBasket Update: France (Evan Fournier) advances with OT win over Italy

France, while often thought of as one of the basketball powerhouses in Europe, have not finished in the top three in EuroBasket since 2013. But thanks to a close win over Italy in an overtime thriller, they are one step closer to being back on the podium. Coming off of a nail-biter against Turkey, which saw them needing a last second Rudy Gobert put-back to win the game by one, France got off to a nice 27-20 start. Evan Fournier started the game hot going 3-6 in the first quarter and the offense as a whole looked very crisp.
