Caboclo seals Brazil's win over Greece with heads-up defense

Bruno Caboclo played a massive role in Brazil's upset victory over the Giannis Antetokounmpo-led Greek national team on Tuesday.

First, Caboclo disrupted a potential game-tying two from the reigning NBA MVP.

Moments later, with Greece's Kostas Sloukas on the line for a game-tying free throw, the 23-year-old Caboclo came up clutch again, taking advantage of FIBA's unique goaltending rules to swat away the foul shot as soon as it hit the rim:

Caboclo finished with eight points, a game-high 10 rebounds, two assists, two steals, and a block in 34:25 of action.

With the win, Brazil advances from Group G, regardless of the outcome of its game against Montenegro. Greece must beat New Zealand to remain in medal contention.

After being selected by the Toronto Raptors with the 20th pick in the 2014 NBA Draft, Caboclo has found a home with the Memphis Grizzlies. He secured a $1.9-million contract for 2019-20 after a 34-game stint with the team late last season.
