Jokić and Team Serbia Will Face Team USA in Gold Medal Game

Denver Nuggets standout Nikola Jokiu0107 tallied nine points and 11 rebounds to help Team Serbia defeat Team Australia 87-61 in today's Olympic semifinal in Rio de Janeiro. The win catapults Team Serbia to a matchup with Team USA in the Gold Medal Game.

This will be the teams' second meeting in the 2016 Rio Olympics, the first of which Team USA escaped with a narrow three-point victory.

Jokiu0107 -- who added three steals, two assists and one blocked shots versus Australia -- finished runner-up in the NBA's 2015-16 Rookie of the Year vote, and has picked up where he left off with the Nuggets in Olympic play this summer with his home country.
