Serbs amazing in NBA league: Bjelica "Knocked out" Teodosic in a brutal duel, Jokic and Bogdan had double digits (VIDEO)
Great performance by Serbian basketball players in the NBA league between Monday and Tuesday, where we saw a Serbian duel in the fight of Los Angeles Clippers and Minnesota. At the end, Nemanja Bjelica celebrated his victory over Milos Teodosic, and both Serbian national team players did great.
Bjelica scored 18 points and had 9 rebounds with 4 assists and one stolen ball, while Teodosic scored 15 points with 6 assists and three rebounds.
Both of them scored some important hoops, especially at the end of the match, and they scored some three points in the last quarter. However, Bjelica probably scored a key strike to Clippers with three points 2.45 until the end, when Minnesota got some distance with 4 points and Los Angeles team couldn't return to the game.
Bjelica used the minutes fantastically, he finally received a chance to play, he spent 34 minutes on the court and he got the trust of the coach and the team again.
He shot 6/13 from the play and those were mostly shots for three points, which he scored 3/9. Teo had some better percentage, 5/9 from the game and 3/6 for three points, but that didn't help his team reach victory.
In the ranks of Minnesota, Andrew Wiggins scored 40 points, while Jeff Teague scored 30. Bjelica was the third scorer of his team.
