MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Memphis Grizzlies forward Santi Aldama scored a double-double in Spain's 84-77 win over Greece in game two of their 2024 Paris Olympics campaign.

The Spaniard had a team-high 19 points, along with 12 rebounds, two assists and three blocks in the must-win game. 

It's the second-straight game that Aldama has shined for Spain at the Olympics. In Saturday's loss to Australia, Aldama led all scorers with 29 points, six rebounds and two steals. His six made-three pointers in that game set a Spanish record for the most threes made in a game. 

Spain is competing in Group A, which has been nicknamed the 'Group of Death' at the Olympics because of the quality of the other teams - Greece, Canada and Australia. 

Spain will continue group play on Friday at 10:15 a.m. CT when they play Canada who is currently undefeated at the Paris Olympics.
