In a bit of an upset, Bojan Bogdanovic's Team Croatia was eliminated in their first game of the Round of 16 by Russia at EuroBasket 2017.

Croatia had previously rolled through the group stage, going an impressive 4-1 with its only loss being to Spain — the tournament's favored team in most years.

But on Sunday in Istanbul, Turkey, Russia took care of Croatia handily, winning 101-78 and bumping Bogdanovic's team out of the competition.

Individually, Bogdanovic put forth another effort that separated himself as one of the top players in the competition. The small forward scored a game-high 28 points while grabbing four rebounds.
