Just as he had in the FIBA Olympic Qualifying Tournament, Bojan Bogdanovic scored big and often as Croatia upset silver medal favorite Spain, Sunday night. While Dario Saric of the 76ers had the big play, a dramatic last second block of a Pau Gasol hook shoot, Bogdanovic was the consistent thread after halftime.
Bogdanovic scored 23 points on 8-of-15 shooting, including 3-of-8 from deep and 4-of-5 from the charity stripe to go with three rebounds, two assists and one block in 36 minutes. Just as he did in the FIBA Olympic Qualifying Tournament, Bogdanovic scored about a third of Croatia's points.
