EPIC MATCHUP | Türkiye vs. Serbia | FIBA Basketball

And don't forget the matchup between Tezic and Ataman. As we get ready to look at Serbia's starting five. Here's Shingun. Fades, good defense from Jokic. Look at Petrusev as a second defender. In the world of basketball. Alvarez, Shingun gets it to Gedi Osman and that's what he's been doing in this tournament. Osman, down the baseline, he's left open so he lets it fly. Shingun with the rebound, we've seen lots of... Now behind the back pass to Gedi Osman. Look at this, behind the back. Thank you very much. On a platter. I love it. Jokic, first pass Shingun. Turns, puts it up, what a soft touch. He's so wide. Get ready to come in. Look at the touch here. Here's Shingun, knocks it down. And just so soft. And this great... He's been good. Here he is stepping inside and making it and just as soft as well. Maybe it's the way to play. I think Avramovic defensively is a strength. And there you go, driving in and scoring. Where you see, maybe not so much the five assists for Turk. Shingun for three. Are you kidding me? Only didn't over-rotate. And again, this is something that Turkey now can get a shot if they stretch out. Oh, the pass, well advised by Shingun, deflected. Into the path of Serbian who can now tie it with a three. And Jokic goes right at Osmani. There's a difference for Jokic if he's not guarded by Shingun. Second quarter underway here in the Arena Riga. Turkey with possession, still attacking the basket to the right, wearing the white. And how about Larkin coming out, he's stroking a three. Guteric goes down. Guteric's shot clock about to expire, he puts up a high-arcing three. That's good from Marco Guteric. Shingun. Taking a bacon from Larkin. Boy, he has come out. He needs to be careful. Shingun spins, turns, gets it off to Osman. They committed two players to stopping Shingun. Oh, Jokic for Jokic. Again, there's the play in transition, ceiling at the nail. Just a beautiful touch. Look at this, just pivoting, great defense. You can't guard it any better than that. Free throw, there it is. And the putback from Jokic. Looked like a man among boys right there, Jeff. Korkmist from deep. He's got it. Recent times. There's bounce pass, Shingun. Are you kidding me? What a Eurostep move. Wow. Great foot. Getting, everybody's contributing to that. I think that was a Eurostep. And here it is, up ahead, overhead pass to Osmani. Shingun racks up another assist. He's going to walk behind the scores table and go to the locker room, it seems. Jeff, that's very. Have a triple-double by halftime. Nice pass. Great finish. Watching this, another great crowd here at the Eurobasket. Bounce pass, Petrusa goes up and fouled as well by Osmani. Larkins is so explosive. You can see why he needs to have the ball in his hands. Zipahi, nice fake. Hands it off, Osmani, wide open. Shingun for three. Yes! He can hit the three-point shot. It's the boards against the big, physical Turkey front line. Jokic spins, turns. Offensive foul. On Jokic. For Larkin or Zipahi. Three-point shot is good from Jokic. And here's the three from Jokic. You can see Shingun caught low in the lane. Which it did, but it wasn't kicked. Here is. Oh, Shingun drives, they're going to wipe it away. Because he kind of cleared out with his left hand. Watch him go with his left hand. Yep. And you can understand why he does it, to get them away, but really good. 14 to 24 from three-point range. Make it 15 to 25! So they came out to set. Again, Jokic has on Shingun, but Shingun does have the ability to drive by, to create. Shingun showing the three, putting it back in his holster. And Jokic catches it for an easy one. Kutrusev. There's Jokic for the put-back. He's got 15. Oh, forget what I just said. He just takes it right down the lane and scores. Shymus Hauser with the foul. Jeff, they're daring Zipahi to make shots now. Oh, nice pass. And Larkin there, what a, how in the world did he zip that ball in there on the back door? Larkin has played at team high 32 minutes. And oh, going up and dunking on Osmani and Serbia. Back in front. He caught it on the move. Stampede downhill. What a play. Usually you see guards doing that. What a great play at the nail from Jokic. Boom, punch it on him. Nice pass. Oh, it goes back. A little bit of volleyball. Gooderich, pump fake. Yes, he does. Jokic, second defender at the rim. You can see the closeout. Oh, and Jovic just took it right away from Jetty behind the back pass. And Dobritz, foul flies in for the dunk. Big bucket. Here's the play. They look all ball, Jeff. And then the efficiency to convert the defense to offense. And we've got 549 remaining. Chin-Gun spins, turns, hands it off. Back outside. Fork miss. That's good. Their three-point shooting is just out of this world tonight. 17 of 28 from three-point range. 61%. Jokic. That's good. Jeff, whatever you can do, I can do better. Back and forth. This is great basketball. Chin-Gun takes it in this time. Drives, scores, and it's a two-point game. Oh, the touch. Milutinov, second defender at the rim. Jetty has had some difficult moments at the free-throw line late in games with Terpia. Here he is getting the offensive rebound. The battle is Chin-Gun. Chin-Gun gets it. Goes back up and makes it. They go, they blow the whistle with a foul. So much competition and contact in the lane. He went for the shot big, but look at the touch. Foul on Milutinov. Excuse me. Milutinov with the bump. The handoff. The lurking. Goes all the way in. Back out it goes. They get it to Seamus Hauser. Yes! We're coming up on one minute. Jovich falls down. There's Jokic for the rebound and put back. The Jokic can't contain. There he is again. And he just has position. He probably got pushed in. Chin-Gun spins, turns, gets it in. He's fouled! And he's going to the line. Well, big free throws. They haven't been making them late. And Alpern Chin-Gun does. You go. The winner clenches first place in group A. And will take on Sweden. The loser will face Finland in the round of 16. So it's Turkey back in front. Bona on Jokic. They switch. Jokic has it. Here's Guderich. Shot clock winding down. Guderich, nowhere to go. He gets his date a little stolen away. And now Turkey have it. And Serbia have to make a decision. Do they play D or do they foul? And they foul Larkin. Turkey, their fans can sense it. They've taken a three-point lead. Done sometimes. Jokic gets it up. And there's Chin-Gun with the rebound. The one thing we know is they have had to beat a very good team tonight, Turkey. They've also beaten the host, Latvia. Here's Micic putting it up from deep. He misses. And Turkey have done it. They have beaten Serbia to clench first in group A. And perhaps gain a psychological advantage. In the meetings down the road, but they now know they can knock off one of the greats.
