Top Performers<\/b>
<\/p>\n
As Serbia bulldozed over Slovenia with a 98-54<\/a> win, Lazar Gacic<\/a> was a force to be reckoned with. The big man attempted 14 free throws and made them all on the road to a 22-point performance. Add 4 rebounds in the mix for an efficiency of 26 in less than 19 minutes on the court.<\/p>\n
His teammate Viktor Mikic<\/a> put up big performance as well with 14 points, 7 rebounds, 2 dimes and a couple of blocked shots and steals to add, recording an efficiency rating of 23.<\/p>\n
Aleksas Bieliuskas<\/a> of Lithuania put up big numbers in his team’s 106-66<\/a> success against Romania, first of the event. The center tallied 15 points, 8 rebounds, an assist, a block and a steal for an efficiency of 24 on almost-perfect 6-of-7 shooting from the field.<\/p>\n
Alexander Raedschelders<\/a> came in late with a big performance in Belgium’s 65-55<\/a> success over Ukraine. The wingman tallied a 19-point, 10-rebound double-double, also dishing out 3 assists and picking the opponents’ pockets 3 times.<\/p>\n
Israel beat Finland 88-69<\/a> to remain perfect and Maxim Filonenko<\/a> played a big part in it, dominating the paint with 15 points and 7 rebounds. His defensive performance was something to marvel at with 4 stolen possessions and an efficiency of 23.<\/p>\n
