Bosnia needed to put their heads back in place following their loss yesterday once morest Germany, one of the host countries of this EuroBasket. Jusuf Nurkic’s teammates did the trick once morest the terrible Slovenians to win 97-93 in Cologne. Slovenia are no longer undefeated and will have to watch their backs until the end.
For the boxscore, this is where it happens
In this match, the Bosnians get the best start thanks in particular to award-winning shots from Edin Atic and Jusuf Nurkic to start the game and put Slovenia on the ropes from the first minutes, and it will take more than 120 seconds for Mike Tobey to unblock the defending champions counter in this game. However, Luka Doncic’s teammates will wake up and gradually regain control of the game. Despite the clumsiness of the metronome of the Mavs (2/8 shooting in the first half), he who scores sacred baskets even when it does not count. Even when she loses her shoe, Lulu manages to find her reliable guys who do the job and bring in their baskets. However, Dzanan Musa keeps his team afloat, well helped by John Roberson’s long distance banderillas. Slovenia leaves for the locker room with 3 points ahead of their opponent of the day (52-49).

The start of the second half looks like two drops of water to that of the first. Bosnia got off to the best start and even came back in front, but the Slovenians did not let themselves be defeated and resumed their march forward. However, Luka Doncic’s friends will have a much harder time keeping their lead. They do not manage to take shelter and remain within reach of the blows of the Bosnians. And they will pay dearly for it since Roberson and Musa continue their demolition business while Luka Doncic does not find the sights from afar for the whole match (0/8 from the parking lot, he has been more successful) despite his pink complexion very often a sign that the opposing team will soon have a bad time. Despite the support of Goran Dragic mainly, but also Mike Tobey or Vlatko Cancar, it is the Bosnians who will bring the game home despite a very shy Jusuf Nurkic who will only score 12 points tonight at 3/13 in shooting . With his 22 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists, Dzanan Musa was the standard bearer for a selection with long teeth who scratched the Cologne floor, while John Roberson unleashed a very clean 7/13 from the parking lot to lay the kids down late in the game. Goran Dragic’s 24 points were not enough and Luka Doncic’s 22 are tainted by his clumsiness from afar and his 5 stray balls.

Far from being the most disgusting match of this beginning of EuroBasket, the clash between Slovenia and Bosnia kept all the spectators and television viewers spellbound until the last second. One day, Dzanan was asked to muse, and Dzanan Musa.
