Croatia bested by Finland, fail to advance beyond EuroBasket 2022 Round of 16

Croatia’s run at EuroBasket 2022 has come to an end.

On Sunday in Berlin, Croatia took the floor against Finland and come out on the losing side, 94-86. The biggest reason was due to Lauri Markkanen, who now plays for the Utah Jazz after getting dealt by the Cleveland Cavaliers in the larger Donovan Mitchell trade.

Markkanen, who has powered Finland to incredible heights during the tournament, finished with 43 points on 19 of 29 shooting. He also added 9 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 steals. Markkanen had come into the Round of 16 game averaging 24.
