Pacers forward Bojan Bogdanovic and Croatia suffered their first loss of EuroBasket 2017 on Tuesday, falling to defending European champions Spain, 79-73. Through four games, Croatia is now 3-1, putting them in second place in Group C behind the Spaniards (4-0).
Bogdanovic, who entered the day as the tournament's fourth-leading scorer at 22.3 points per game, struggled to find any sort of rhythm early and was scoreless at halftime. He heated up, however, in the third quarter, converting a cutting layup off a dish from Dario Saric and then drilling three 3-pointers to help Croatia take the lead.
