Utah Jazz: FIBA World Cup roundup – Jazzmen stay perfect, USA topples Giannis, Greece

It was an exciting day of FIBA Basketball action across the board for Utah Jazz fans on Saturday as each of the three Jazzmen representing their respective countries remained undefeated. Donovan Mitchell and Team USA had a great second quarter, outscoring Greece 19-8, and held steady in the second half to take down Giannis Antetokounmpo and Greece by a score of 69-53.

It was a relatively low-scoring affair, but with the Americans so heavily focused on defense, that’s likely the way they want the games to be. In all, it was a great victory because Greece was supposed to be the biggest challenge they’d faced yet but they stayed tough and took care of business.
