Jazz Notes:
Jazz center Kosta Koufos played the final 7:14 of Greece's 82-64 loss to Spain in Saturday's semifinals of the European championships in Poland. By the time Koufos checked in, Greece already was trailing by 22 in the fourth quarter. Koufos finished with four points and three rebounds and went 2-for-5 from the field, including a layup blocked by Marc Gasol. While Spain advances to the championship game, Greece will play the loser of Saturday's other semifinal between Serbia and Slovenia in Sunday's bronze medal game. Koufos had missed Greece's previous two games white battling stomach flu/food poisoning. --Ross Siler
