September 13th, Greece defeated Türkiye 68-94. After the game, Greek coach Spanoris was interviewed.

Speaking of the game performance, Spanoris said: "First of all, I would like to congratulate the Turkey team, they did better. We played the worst performance of this game, made many mistakes, and were not mature enough. The energy allocation plan and tactical deployment we originally formulated have not been implemented, but this situation may actually happen to anyone. I am proud of my players, and now we must focus on the next key game. We have come to the end of the game, and this bronze medal is crucial to us because it can bring us a medal back."

"The Turkish team's shooting feels very accurate. They have players like Shin Kyung who have excellent passing skills, as well as excellent athleticism and excellent defensive performance. The defender; their roster has obvious height advantages, the tall players have done a good job of pick-and-roll delays, and can block our pass routes, which makes us unable to quickly pass the ball. We held the ball on the offensive end for too long, and the turnovers have increased. Turkey is indeed a very good team, and their performance is far better than us. In addition, our entire defensive strategy is focused on limiting Giannis. Although Giannis is a player of the god-level performance in this tournament, he is a man after all. He is very outstanding, like Slokas and Papanicoulau, he is our core leader. I feel very lucky to be able to represent the country with them. He just happened to be in poor form in this game, but I believe he will be ready for Sunday's game."
