Head coach Lassi Tuovi was still a teenager when Shawn Huff made his national team debut. It was back in 2005, September and Finland was playing in EuroBasket, Division B.

Spain made the EuroBasket semifinals for the 11th consecutive time (since 1999) by overcoming a 15-point deficit and defeating high-flying Finland, 100-90 (19-30, 24-22, 30-15, 27-23). Spain became the first team to have won a game in the EuroBasket 2022 after being down by 15 or more points. Unlike the one-sided third quarter, the last 10 minutes of the match went neck-on-neck.

Lauri Markkanen is probably tired of all these comparisons to Dirk Nowitzki. But his remarkable performance on a historical night for his country brought a few more reasons to put him in the same conversation with FIBA basketball legend.
