MANILA -- Serbia proved too much for Puerto Rico on Monday, scoring a clinical 94-77 victory for their second win in Group B of the FIBA Basketball World Cup 2023 at the Araneta Coliseum.
All Serbian players fielded by coach Svetislav Pesic contributed on offense to continue their mastery of Puerto Rico since 2016.
After trailing by 32, the Puerto Ricans cut the deficit to 81-71 with five minutes left before regulation.
Serbia responded with a 13-2 run and never looked back since.
