BERLIN: For Spain, almost all of the names on the national team’s roster have changed in recent years. The expectations didn’t.

And neither did the results. Juancho Hernangomez scored 27 points, his brother Willy Hernangomez added 14 and won tournament MVP honors, and Spain topped France 88-76 on Sunday to win the EuroBasket gold medal.

It was Spain’s fourth European championship in their last six tries, all those golds coming under coach Sergio Scariolo. Lorenzo Brown scored 14 points and had 11 assists for Spain, while Jaime Fernandez scored 13.

Evan Fournier led France — which also dropped the gold-medal game at the Tokyo Olympics to the US last summer — with 23 points, with Thomas Heurtel scored 16 and Guerschon Yabusele added 13.
