Weakened Dragons Hold Even in Istanbul

(Patria) - Although weakened and written off by many, the basketball national team of Bosnia and Herzegovina is putting up a great fight tonight in Istanbul against Turkey.

This is the first match of the qualifiers for the World Championship, and the significantly weakened Dragons are visiting Turkey, which many considered the absolute favorite before the match.



What could be seen in the first quarter is that our national team is sorely lacking in experience, but the fight and effort were at the highest level.

The first quarter belonged to the Turks, who had a nine-point lead, with the score being 29:20.



The second quarter was excellent in terms of the play of the Bosnia and Herzegovina national team - the Dragons won it with a score of 25:17.

However, what we must emphasize is the terrible refereeing and many questionable decisions that went against our national team in the first half.



After the first half, Turkey has a minimal lead of 46:45 against BiH. An interesting 20 minutes of basketball certainly awaits us in the continuation.
