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.
To see Hernangomez’s big game in highlight form yourself, take a look at the clip embedded below courtesy of the folks over at the FIBA YouTube channel.
