Italy takes on Georgia on Saturday, August 30, at the Spyros Kyprianou Arena in Cyprus.
If you're not familiar with Georgia's game before, your eyes might be opened after their first match. They soundly defeated Spain via an impressive 83-69 victory. A balanced offensive attack saw five Georgian players score in double digits.
San Antonio Spurs forward Alexander Mamukelashvili produced a game-high 19 markers, along with seven rebounds and six assists. Orlando Magic big man Goga Bitadze contributed 15 points in the win, while Tornike Shengalia had 13.
Georgia pounded the ball inside the pain, and it produced good results for them. They went to the free throw line 26 times, as opposed to Spain's 13.
Meanwhile, Italy is coming off a 75-66 defeat to Giannis Antetokounmpo and Greece. Their defense couldn't stop the Greek Freak, as Giannis topscored with 31 points on 70% shooting.
Moreover, Italy's star player Simone Fontecchio had a forgettable performance. He missed 10 of his 11 shots, going 1-5 from three-point territory. Nicolo Melli led the Italians with his 15 points.
Italy have won its last three matchups against Georgia, including twice in the 2023 qualifiers. But Georgia have enough this time to match up with Italy's offensive firepower.
