18-year-old Dzanan Musa scored 32 points (a career-high as a pro and personal record with the senior national team) in 26 minutes and Bosnia downed Slovak Republic 84 – 71.

The Cedevita Zagreb guard shot the ball more than efficiently, finishing with 12/15 from the field (8/9 two-pointers, 4/6 from beyond the arc). He also dished out three assists and stole the ball an equal number of times from his opponents.

Martin Rancik was the top performer for the losing squad with a 14 points team-high plus 8 rebounds. The Slovak national team remains winless in the tournament since it had been defeated 75 – 61 by Armenia in Game 1 of the pre-qualifiers.

In the rest of today’s matches:

Bulgaria – Belarus 78 – 68

FYROM – Estonia 76 – 80

Austria – Holland 73 – 79

Armenia – Sweden 82 – 69
