Led by Oklahoma City Thunder's center Nenad Krstic, Serbia upset a previously undefeated Argentinean team, 84-82, Thursday in Kayseri, Turkey, to claim first place in Group A.With both teams tied at 4-1 with nine points in group play, Serbia's head-to-head victory over Argentina gave it the edge to finish in first.
In a tightly contested game throughout, the score was tied 77-77 with 38 seconds left. Unsung hero Dusko Savanovic drained a 3-point shot to give the Serbians an 80-77 lead with 18 seconds remaining.
Serbia's Aleksandar Rasic hit four vital free throws down the stretch within the last 10 seconds to clinch the victory. Savanovic finished with 19 points, leading the Serbian national team. Krstic had 18 points and led all players with eight rebounds. Olympiacos star guard Milos Teodosic chipped in with 16 points for Serbia.
Although Houston Rockets forward Luis Scola dominated play with 32 points and seven rebounds, the Serbian defense did a nice job converging on the dominant Argentine in the fourth quarter, limiting Scola to two field goals.
Milwaukee Bucks swingman Carlos Delfino added 15 points for Argentina, but like Scola, was unable to convert in the fourth quarter, going 1-for-5 from the field in the session.
Serbia was aided by superb bench play and a 43-32 rebounding advantage.
With the win, Serbia avoids being placed on the same side of the knockout draw as the United States. Instead, Argentina, which is the No. 1 ranked international basketball team, will be on the same side of the draw when knockout play begins on Saturday. If the United States is to face Argentina, it will come in the semifinals.
