Serbia knocked defending champ Spain out of the world basketball championship Wednesday when Milos Teodosic made a long three-pointer with 3.1 seconds left for a 92-89 quarter-final victory.
Spain erased an eight-point deficit in the final four minutes to tie it on Marc Gasol’s basket with 25 seconds remaining. After a timeout, Serbia patiently ran its offence until Teodosic — 1-of-7 on three-pointers at that point — pulled up and launched his shot from well beyond the three-point line.
“He’s a great player and he has a great feeling for the big shot,” Spain coach Sergio Scariolo said.
