Serbia through to Semis after dismantling cold shooting Italy 83-67
Great team performance for the men of Djordjevic, to reach Russia for the semifinal challenge
Serbia booked a Semi-Finals clash with Russia after a 83-67 victory over a cold-shooting Italy.
In a game that didn't reach any great heights and was blighted by poor shooting, Serbia took control in the second quarter to lead by 11 at half-time.
Despite getting within 8 in the fourth quarter, Italy never seriously threatened and struggled to get into rhythm, especially star Marco Belinelli who scored 18 points but was just 2-of-11 from three.
Bogdan Bogdanovic overcame a slow start to score 14 of his 22 points in the fourth quarter to ensure his team cruised to victory.
