Well, that loss will leave a bad taste in the mouthes of Nikola Jokic, the rest of the Serbian roster, their coaches, and all of their fans.
After effortlessly going undefeated in the group stage of EuroBasket and earning a top seed, Serbia fell in the first round of the elimination phase against Italy by a score of 94-86 in what was a major upset.
Simply stated, Serbia had no business losing to the Italians even if they were fully healthy, but the fact that Italy was without their only NBA player and most talented member of the roster in Danilo Gallinari only makes the loss even more baffling.
