Former Boston Celtics forward Juancho Hernangomez saved his best game of the European Basketball Championship for last, helping Spain win EuroBasket gold with an 88-76 victory over France and its trio of former Celtics.
Hernengomez put up an impressive 27 points, 5 rebounds and 2 steals in just over 26 minutes of game time. He shot 9-of-11 from the field, a red-hot 7-of-9 from beyond the arc and 2-of-2 from the stripe. On the other side of the court, ex-Celtics shooting guard Evan Fournier led France’s silver-medal effort with 23 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists and a steal.
Former Boston big man Guerschon Yabusele added 13 points, 2 boards and 6 assists, and former Celtics center Vincent Poirier chipped in 4 points, 1 rebound and 1 assist, but it was not enough.
