Pachulia’s Georgia, Casspi’s Israel achieve different results.
Both Omri Casspi’s Israel and Zaza Pachulia’s Georgia faced off against the
teams that knocked them out of the Round of 16 in 2015 in their first
preliminary round game of EuroBasket 2017 on Thursday, but Golden State’s two
representatives’ teams achieved quite different results. Pachulia recorded eight
points, 10 rebounds and three steals in Georgia’s thrilling 79-77 comeback
victory over Lithuania, while Casspi led Israel with 18 points and nine rebounds
in their 69-48 loss to Italy. Both Georgia and Israel will have a day off on
Friday before playing their second games on Saturday against Germany and
Lithuania, respectively.
