Bjelica Helps Serbia Advance To Semifinals

Timberwolves forward Nemanja Bjelica had another impressive performance for Serbia on Wednesday, helping his squad to an 89-75 win over Czech Republic to advance to the 2015 EuroBasket semifinals.

In 28 minutes, “Professor Big Shots” finished with 14 points, a team-high 10 rebounds, two assists and two steals. He shot 5-of-8 from the field, 2-of-5 from the three-point line and 2-of-2 from the free-throw line.

Serbia and Bjelica need to win in the semifinals to clinch a spot in the 2016 Olympics in Rio.

That game will come on Thursday at 2p.m. CT against the winner of Italy and Lithuania.
