Maybe it was a reaction after the recent mess but Russia was pretty impressive in the 82-52 win over Bosnia in the first game of the preparation tournament in Xanthi, Greece.
Nikita Kurbanov had 15 points for the winners, Sergey Monya added 14 and captain Anton Ponkrashov (photo) who returned to the team had 7 points. For Bosnia, which is missing its biggest stars, Elmedin Kikanovic with 14 points was the top scorer, while naturalized point guard Alex Renfroe had 4 points and 3 rebounds.
