Despite the defeat by USA, Serbia won the silver medal and coach Sasha Djordjevic enjoyed the moment and was ready to even joke about the final points difference in the final.
As he said according to Spanish news agency EFE: “We are proud of this team that has had a great performance in the final against the United States. We lost by 36 points the last time and now by 30. In just ten years we will be ready to compete with them”.
On a more serious note he added: “USA is the best team. They demonstrated it with a great game. Kevin Durant was a big question for our defense and it was impossible to stop him. They were smarter and more successful. They were fantastic in rebounding, always near the ball and it was difficult to stop them. It was too much. When the first half finished we could not recover and also we had a bad shooting night”.
