Latvia pushed Serbia to the limit but fell to an incredible Nikola Jokic performance of 39 points. Davis Bertans praised the NBA star yet criticized the officiating in the closing moments.
“I’m proud of the team, we fought until the last possession. Jokic is the best player in the world, but what the referees did at the end was unacceptable. They missed an elbow to the face when we were down four — unbelievable not to call it,” Bertans said.
Coach Luca Banchi highlighted his team’s effort: “We never gave up, we played with energy and character. Gražulis got injured early, but the guys deserve all the support. Against Jokic it wasn’t easy — he stayed calm and delivered an incredible game”.
