Croatia Successfully Opens EuroBasket 2015

By 6 September 2015

First true test tonight against very strong Greece

Playing at home in Zagreb, the Croatians were the favorites, but after a nervous start it was Slovenia who took the early lead, going up 23-17 after the first quarter. Even though the game was still not convincing enough, after the first half Croatia was in the lead and kept it until the final whistle.

Final result was 80 : 73.

Croatian team faces Greece tonight at 21:00 h and unfortunately, one of Croatia's best players Bojan Bogdanović will not be able to play after a very bad fall in the third quarter in which he suffered a mild concussion.
