Playing the point, Dzanan Musa scored 15 points and handed out nine assists Thursday night in Espoo, Finland, but the home team beat Bosnia, 85-81, in a FIBA World Cup Qualifier marked by a 21-point comeback that fell just short.
Down 24 with eight minutes left, Bosnia went on a frantic scoring run getting the lead down to three following a Musa free throw with 1:13 left. But Finland took advantage of a personal foul and a turnover by Bosnia’s other NBA player, Jusuf Nurkic, and Musa made an errant pass with 18 seconds left.
