Spain Wins EuroBasket 2011

Juan Carlos Navarro has led Spain to back to back EuroBasket titles, hitting 27 points on a night when four of his team mates would join him in double figures as they knocked over France 98-85.

As he has done throughout the tournament Navarro was once more leading Spain to glory but perhaps the bigger story was the support he was receiving from his team mates in comparison to French star Tony Parker.

Parker would end the night as France’s top scorer with 26 points but with two of three team mates to finish in double figures – Joakim Noah and Nicolas Batum – allowing themselves to get in foul trouble early in a heated affair it would turn out to be long night at the office for France who failed in their bid to win their first ever EuroBasket gold medal.
