Serbia joined Slovenia in EuroBasket 2017 Quarter-finals

Serbia are in the EuroBasket 2017 Quarter-finals and they have done it by eliminating Hungary in the Round of 16 quite easily. Serbia went on an early 8-point lead after the first quarter and led throughout the game comfortably, all until the final score of 86:78. Ognjen Kuzmić and Bogdan Bogdanović were the top scorers for Serbia with 17 points scored each.

Montenegro are going home after the Round of 16 at EuroBasket 2017. The squad led from the bench by Bogdan Tanjević suffered a huge blow against Latvia in the battle for a spot in the Quarter-finals with the final score of 100:68, after they lost each and every quarter to the better opponent. For Montenegro Bojan Dubljević scored 21 points and Nikola Vučević added 16.

Croatia were defeated convincingly in the clash against Russia and are, just like Montenegro, leaving the tournament after the Round of 16. The Russian squad have decided the winner basically in the third quarter, which they have won by 11 points and even increased the lead in the last one, after Croatians have already given up on their hopes. The final score was 101:78 in favour of Russia. For Croatia, the most efficient scorer was Dario Šarić with 13 points, Luka Žorić was the next with 11.

Slovenia have already qualified for the top 8 by beating Ukraine a day ago.
