Giannis Antetokounmpo's EuroBasket Run Ends as Triple-Teams Stifle Greece in Semifinal Loss

Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo's EuroBasket journey concluded on Friday, September 12, 2025, as Turkiye's defense effectively shut down Greece in the semifinals, leading to a decisive 94-68 defeat. Despite being one of the tournament's prominent figures, Antetokounmpo was heavily targeted by Turkiye's triple-teams on his drives, severely limiting his offensive impact. He was held to just 12 points on 13 shots for the game, with a particularly tough first half where he managed only 4 points on 2-of-7 shooting, alongside 8 rebounds and 3 turnovers. Without Antetokounmpo's usual spark, Greece struggled to compete, ultimately falling by 26 points and failing to advance to the EuroBasket final.
