Latvia<\/strong> pushed Serbia<\/strong> to the limit but fell to an incredible Nikola Jokic<\/strong> performance of 39 points. Davis Bertans<\/strong> praised the NBA star yet criticized the officiating in the closing moments.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m 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 \u2014 unbelievable not to call it,\u201d Bertans said.<\/p>\n

Coach Luca Banchi<\/strong> highlighted his team\u2019s effort: \u201cWe never gave up, we played with energy and character. Gra\u017eulis got injured early, but the guys deserve all the support. Against Jokic it wasn\u2019t easy \u2014 he stayed calm and delivered an incredible game\u201d.<\/p>\n
