No pick-and-rolls! One-on-one everywhere! Three-point-shooting galore! And a bizarre lack of off-ball movement!
The Miami Heat’s new offense is weird. I look into what makes it tick, whether it’s working, and whether it can sustain here:

Germany down 31:32 vs. Portugal.
Ice cold from downtown (1/18 3P).
Struggled to get into their run and gun game due to lack of forced turnovers.
After timeout in Q2 the defensive intensity stepped up with 3 forced TOs late in Q3.
Portugal already went 11 deep. Franz already with 17 minutes.

All tie-breaking scenarios for Groups C and D at #EuroBasket:
In Group C GEO and BIH play for the last spot in the knockout round, but there can even be some 4 way ties to break.
In Group D all 4 teams for the knockout stage are locked in. But FRA and ISR can still finish 1st through 4th.

Luka Doncic just completed a triple double vs. Belgium.
Why is this news worthy?
In EuroBasket history this has been accomplished only 5 times including today and Luka was not part of the list until now.

Bitter für Serbien: nachdem ihn gestern auch die Teamärzte der LA Clippers untersuchten steht fest, dass Bogdan Bogdanovic für den Rest dieser #EuroBasket ausfällt.

Schröder and Wagner lead Germany in all 3 games so far, with both players scoring 20+ points in all 3 games. Germany always keeps one of them on the floor. They get also a lot of help from their teammates. There is not really a dropoff in bench heavy units.

Theis benefited most from the reduced minutes yesterday.
23 points, 6 rebounds, 1 block, 3 3PM on 100% shooting.
Valanciunas played just 10 minutes in the first half due to foul trouble and finished with 14 points, 4 rebounds and 1 block.
This matchup was a clear win for Germany.

Massive impressive win by Germany.
Scored 107 points against defensively strong Lithuanian team.
Made 19 3 pointers on 54% 3P% (5 players made multiple 3s).
Just 7 turnovers and getting transition offense off 14 steals added to their offensive efficiency.
