Playing their fourth game in five days, Croatia looked to claim their third win of the EuroBasket 2022 group stage campaign when they took on Italy in Milan on Tuesday.
As they have been wont to do recently, Croatia rallied from a halftime deficit with a fantastic third quarter. After climbing back from an 8-point margin at the half, Croatia went into the final frame with a 4-point lead and looked to take their third win of the competition. Unfortunately, it didn’t end the way they wanted it to as Italy won, 81-76.
