Serbia Mounts Comeback to Down Denmark
Serbia staged a second-half comeback to overcome Denmark 74-66 in a hard-fought FIBA U18 EuroBasket contest. Trailing by four at halftime, 37-33, Serbia unleashed a decisive 24-12 run in the third quarter to seize control. They entered the final period with an eight-point advantage and never looked back, securing the victory. The Serbian bench proved instrumental, pouring in 46 points compared to Denmark's 20, a critical factor despite Serbia's overall struggles from the field (31% FG, 18% 3PT). Denmark, while outrebounding Serbia 45-41 and hitting 10 triples, faltered with 20 turnovers. Artohengbe Uagboe was a standout for Denmark with a double-double of 14 points and 10 rebounds, complemented by Lucas Troels Smith's 17 points. However, Serbia's resilience, bolstered by 11 points from reserve Andrija Susic, ultimately prevailed. This win provides significant momentum for Serbia in the tournament.
