Third quarters are becoming something of a Croatian staple.
Croatia used a post-halftime rally to get them back into their EuroBasket 2022 opener against Greece on Friday before using more of the same on Saturday in order to net their first win of the tournament as they defeated Great Britain, 86-65.
Croatia took a scant 6-point lead into the halftime break before using a 17-2 run over the first five minutes of third quarter to stretch that lead up to 21. They never looked back. Croatia won the third quarter, 35-9.
After starting at center on Friday, LA Clippers center Ivica Zubac came off the bench on Saturday.
