EuroBasket 2017 rolling round up (day 8)
It’s the final day of group action at Eurobasket 2017 before the tournament moves to the Sinan Erdem Dome in Istanbul. Group C and D was finalised with regards to teams advancing, but today is merely to determine final standings and for the eliminated teams, to finish with a bang.
Group C
Croatia thumped already eliminated Czech Republic 107-69 to finish the group phase with a 4-1 record in Cluj-Napoca.
Bojan Bogdanovic scored 25 points to lead Croatia with Dario Saric adding an 18-point, 10-rebound double-double in a comfortable win.
Group D
Russia ended their group phase with an 82-70 win over Great Britain who finish Eurobasket with a 0-5 record despite being competitive in all five matches.
Alexey Shved paced Russia with 30 points and eight assists but despite the double-digit win, Great Britain made things hard, reducing the gap to two points in the fourth before Shved hit nine straight points late on to seal the win and move forward to the round of 16.

I m a Lithuania team fan, and I believe we haven't reached our peak game yet, so more interesting games still to come.
Anyway Spain, Slovenia, Croatia, looking very strong this year.
A bit disapointed by Serbia and France. But like people say "the ball is round" and anything can happen. Playoffs will be extra interesting.
I am glad to find more Basketball fans on Steem! Keep the posts rolling bro!
