LIMASSOL, Cyprus (AP) — Toronto Raptors forward Sandro Mamukelashvili scored 19 points to lead Georgia to a 83-69 upset victory over defending champion Spain at EuroBasket Thursday.
Mamukelashvili added seven rebounds and six assists as Georgia outrebounded Spain 46-29. Spain shot poorly in a disjointed performance — only making 6 of 13 free throws — but still only trailed 61-58 in the fourth quarter when Georgia went on an 11-2 run to take a decisive lead.
American-born guard Kamar Baldwin had 12 points for Georgia, including a 3-pointer in the final seconds.
Juancho Hernangomez led Spain with 13 points in the Group C game at Spyros Kyprianou Arena.
“They deserved to win. They played way better. They played more physically than us,” Hernangomez said. “We played really, really bad … so let’s get better for the next game.”
Israel beat Iceland 83-71 in Katowice, Poland, leading throughout following a 10-0 run in the first quarter. Roman Sorkin scored 31 points for Israel in the Group D opener.
