FIBA Update: Mario Hezonja sits in Croatia win
Mario Hezonja may have been paying for some poor late-game choices against Greece. He only logged 11 minutes in Croatia’s return to play against Macedonia.
Mario Hezonja made some poor decisions late in Croatia’s loss to Greece on Sunday. He took some quick shots with his team down three points, the shots did not fall. You like the confidence, but maybe not in that situation.
The day off gave Bojan Bogdanovic time to recover from his concussion and he was back in the lineup.
Croatia got off to a slow start and struggled to a three-point lead at halftime. They then turned on the afterburners behind Dario Saric and Rok Stipcevic to get a 73-55 win over Macedonia.
