While Steph Curry and Steve Kerr are busy in Group C of the Olympic Games, another player is representing the Golden State Warriors in Group B in Paris. On Tuesday, Gui Santos played his second Olympic game for Brazil.
After meeting France in the opening game of the group stage, Brazil met another tough opponent for game two — Germany. The German team features multiple NBA players led by Dennis Schroder, Franz Wagner, Mo Wagner and Daniel Theis.
While Brazil battled for two quarters, Germany secured the lead in the third quarter and never looked back. Schroder led all scorers with 20 points on 7-of-13 shooting from the field with six assists in Germany’s 86-73 win in Group B.
After scoring nine points against France in his Olympic debut, Santos scored eight points in 29 minutes off the bench against Germany. Santos added five boards and an assist for Brazil. Santos shot the ball well, hitting back-to-back 3-pointers in the second quarter.
