Greece tried to comeback from a 16 points deficit in the third quarter (they came as close as 5), but a really bad freethrow percentage (Jankovic had 0/3 in the final seconds of the third period) and a couple of turnovers gave the Americans a 9-point lead to enter the final period.
In the fourth period Greece had another couple of comeback attempts, but they only came as close as 8 points. Final score 88-80.
