Greece beat Slovenia 96-68 on Saturday (6 July) afternoon to reach the final of the FIBA Olympic Qualifying Tournament (OQT) in Greece.
Thomas Walkup led Greece with 19 points, while Giannis Antetokounmpo had 13 points and four rebounds in just under 21 minutes of action. Luka Doncic had 21 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists in a losing effort for Slovenia, who miss the chance to return to the Olympics after making their Games debut in the men’s basketball competition at Tokyo 2020.
Greece now advance to the final of the OQT, where they will play the victor of Saturday’s other semi-final between Croatia and the Dominican Republic.
That game is scheduled for 21:00 EEST on Sunday (7 July). The winner will earn qualification to the Olympic Games Paris 2024.
