After the game, Aleksandar Dzikic said:
“I want to praise our opponents — great respect to them. They play every game for the full 40 minutes, from start to finish, and that’s impressive; you have to respect that. As for us, we found open positions, made some shots, and it was a bit easier when we hit threes—especially for us, since our strength is usually inside. I think we showed good energy on defense, and given all the news we’ve been dealing with lately, it’s very important for us to be healthy for the game that will decide who advances and who doesn’t [ed. the match against Bosnia]. I believe our goal has been achieved: we’re healthy, and we’re where we wanted to be.”
The final round, featuring Bosnia and Herzegovina against Georgia, will decide who advances. When asked about that matchup, Aleksandar Dzikic said:
“Just as you said, it was clear that everything would come down to this last game. We tried, they tried, to win some of the other matches, but in the end, it all came down to this—and that’s fair,” Dzikic said with a smile.
“Today we found open shots and made them. If you look at Bosnia’s game, they were hitting their shots too. So, as Toko said: it’s going to be a ‘dog fight,’ with all due respect. We expect them to come to the game giving everything, and we’ll do the same—we’re preparing for a tough 40 minutes. Forty minutes of ‘war.’”
