BRAVO! Serbia will play in the 2017 FIBA EuroBasket semi-finals as they defeated Italy by 83:67!
Despite playing without several world-class players at this tournament, Serbia has once again presented amazing performance. The boys coached by Aleksandar Đorđević simply dominated the court from the first to the last minute and they scored a well-deserved win.
Serbian centers were especially good this evening. Milan Mačvan had 13 points and 6 rebounds, Boban Marjanović added 10 points and 7 rebounds while Ognjen Kuzmić had 9 points and 7 rebounds.
It is also worth mentioning that Serbia had 44 rebounds in total, while Italy had just 19!
And for the end, couple of words about the game top scorer. Bogdan Bogdanović looked just unstoppable at some moments, while he finished the match with 22 points... And 6 rebounds!
Serbia will play against Russia in the 2017 FIBA EuroBasket semi-finals and that game is scheduled for Friday, September 15.
