Boston Celtics alum Juancho Hernangomez’ EuroBasket gold highlights

The end result of the man who played Spanish wunderkind Bo Cruz in the Netflix “Hustle” film was a real-life movie finish to the Spanish National Team’s run to get the gold in this year’s EuroBasket.

Former Boston Celtics forward Juancho Hernangomez had a solid if not extraordinary series of games in the European Basketball Championship until the EuroBasket final against France. Hernangomez, in what was easily his best outing of the quadrennial summer event, helped Spain win gold on Sunday.

The ex-Boston big man put up 27 points, 5 rebounds and 2 steals with just 2 turnovers and 1 personal foul. He finished a white-hot 9-of-11 shooting from the floor — 7-of-9 from beyond the arc — in just over 26 minutes of playing time.

The end result for the man who played Spanish wunderkind Bo Cruz in the Netflix film “Hustle” was a real-life movie finish to the Spain’s run to the gold in this year’s EuroBasket.

Boston alum Juancho Hernangomez saves best for last, helps Spain win EuroBasket gold

Hernengomez put up an impressive 27 points, 5 rebounds, and 2 steals in just over 26 minutes of game time.

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.

Despite a massive game from Dennis Schroder, Spain ousts Germany 96-91 from the EuroBasket

The Celtics alum’s EuroBasket swan song was quite impressive — but ultimately not enough.

It would be one of his best games of the 2022 European Basketball Championship for his German National Team, but Dennis Schroder’s big game would not prove to be enough to get Germany past the Spanish National Team in EuroBasket knockout play on Friday, Schroder’s squad falling 96-91.

The former Boston Celtics floor general put up 30 points, a rebound, 8 assists, and 2 steals in the loss while shooting 11-of-17 overall and 3-of-7 from 3. His fellow Celtics alum Daniel Theis added another 10 points, 3 boards, and an assist in Germany’s attempt to make the gold medal game.

That honor will fall to Spain, who will now face France for the 2022 EuroBasket title thanks in part to another Boston alum.

That would be Spanish big man Juancho Hernangomez, who chipped in 13 points, 3 rebounds, and a block off of the bench for his Spanish National Team.

Spain survives Lithuania 102-94 in overtime thanks in part to Celtics alum Juancho Hernangomez

Juancho helped keep Spain’s EuroBasket hopes alive with 13 points off of the bench.

The Spanish National Team will live to play another game in this year’s European Basketball Championship (commonly referred to as the EuroBasket) in no small part thanks to the efforts of Boston Celtics big man alumnus Juancho Hernangomez.

The star of the Netflix “Hustle” film had plenty on display in Spain’s 102-94 overtime win over the Lithuanian National Team on Saturday evening. Hernangomez put up 13 points, 4 rebounds, and a steal in just under 31 minutes of playing time in the victory, shooting a solid 4-of-8 from the floor, all 4 of his misses coming from shits he took beyond the arc.

The former Boston big man also got to the line 6 times, converting 5 of them into extra points for Spain, with no personal fouls or turnovers all game.

“It was almost overwhelming seeing the effort of this time which has nine players who haven’t played in the past in a Eurobasket”, added Spanish head coach Sergio Scariolo via Eurohoops. “We still found a way to win it. You have to give credit to the heart of those guys and it’s a matter of pride”

The win also secured a spot for the former Boston big man and his Spanish National Team in Berlin for the next phase of EuroBasket play.

Spain falls to Belgium 83-73 despite 11 points from Boston Celtics alum Juancho Hernangomez

Even Bo Cruz couldn’t save Spain from themselves today.

Former Boston Celtics big man Juancho “Bo Cruz” Hernangomez did his best to push the Spanish National Team to a win in EuroBasket play on Sunday, but Spain fell 83-73 to a determined Belgian National Team despite the efforts of the star of the Netflix “Hustle” film to prevent it.

The Celtics alum put up 11 points, 3 rebounds, an assist, and as many steals in just under 26 minutes of floor time on his way to picking up just 1 personal foul and turning the ball over 0 times. The Madrid native managed to shoot an efficient 50% from the floor overall, 40% from 3-point range, and 75% from the free throw line in the loss.

“When we go above and beyond to the limits of our energy we can be a good team,” said Spanish National Team head coach Sergio Scariolo via Eurohoops.

“When we don’t, like tonight, we are not. We know that our fuel comes from our defense.”

It was a generally efficient night for the Spaniard, who only fouled once and did not turn the ball over in this game.

Former Boston Celtics big man Juancho Hernangomez helped drive his Spanish National Team to a 114-87 blowout of the Bulgarian National Team on Thursday on day one of EuroBasket action.

The former Celtics forward shot a solid 5-of-1o from the field overall, including going 2-of-5 from beyond the arc and hitting his single attempt from the charity stripe.
