Bjelica Hits Game-Winner Against Germany
A day after a 24-point, 10-rebound performance, Nemanja Bjelica impressed us again.
Against Germany on Sunday, Serbia found itself tied at 66-66 with just 3.7 seconds left on the clock.
No worries. Bjelica’s got this.
That shot ended up being the game-winner. Bjelica AKA Professor Big Shots, finished with 12 points, three rebounds and three assists. He shot 4-of-7 from the field, 1-of-3 from the three-point line and 3-of-4 from the free-throw line.
