This is a rare victory of the greek national team against the mighty Yugoslavian side, for the group stage of the 1987 Εurobasket in Athens.
It's one of Galis best perfomances ever, scoring 44 points and beating the Yugoslavs almost by his own, showing his leadership qualities.
On the other hand, his great opponent, Drazen Petrovic, started furiously, scoring 16 first half points, but then, nowdays greek coach, Panagiotis Yannakis, matched him in the defensive end and managed to slow him down to only 3 second half points.
Galis, at the top of his career, grabs rebounds, dishes some nice assists and steals the ball, and shows why he was considered one of the world's most significant basketball players back then, in 1987.
The final score was 84-78 for the greek national side.
