Dario Saric was relatively a non-factor in Crotia's close loss to Serbia and Sergio Rodriguez continued to shine off the bench for a tough Spain team.
Dario Saric and Sergio Rodriguez continued their Olympic tournament run Wednesday but only one Sixer finished the quarterfinals with a victory. Rodriguez and Spain overwhelmed France in the second half, en route to a 92-67 victory, and will advance to the semis. Saric, however, and Croatia had a difficult time manifesting a lead over Nikola Jokic and Serbia, who won 86-83.
Saric and Jokic both were physical throughout the night, but their second-quarter tussle shined a negative light on the Croatian point forward.
