Willy Hernangomez, who once played for the New York Knicks, played well in his Olympics opener.
Former New York Knicks center Willy Hernangomez is recovering after his Spanish Olympics team lost their opening match 92-80 at the hands of Australia on Saturday afternoon in Lille, France.
Spain fell behind early in the first quarter, going down double digits against Australia, and they simply never recovered in the first half. However, things began to pick up in the third quarter, and Spain even took a lead with 5:58 to go in the frame. While Spain brought it to within four points in the fourth quarter, that was as close as they would get and Australia picked up a very important first win.
