Jokic was dominant, recording 21 points, 14 rebounds, eight assists, and four steals in the win. Especially good down the stretch, Jokic did a little bit of everything in the overtime period to secure this win for Serbia. Just in the extra period alone, Jokic tallied four points, two rebounds, two steals, one block, and one assist to lead Serbia to the semifinals.The basketball world has been reacting to this incredible performance from Jokic, including his Nuggets teammates. Tuned into this Serbia vs. Australia game, both Peyton Watson and Christian Braun reacted to their NBA teammate's dominance.
Serbia will play the winner of USA vs. Brazil in the semifinals, a game USA is heavily favored to win. Having fallen to USA in the Group Phase, Serbia will have a tough test if that is their matchup.Title: Credentialed writer covering the NBA for Sports Illustrated's FanNation Email: joeylinn52@gmail.
