Serbia upsets Spain 66-57 at Euro championship



Serbia's tight defense help to upset the highly favored Spaniards yesterday during the opening round of the European Basketball Championships.

The Serbian National team may lack an NBA star but they don't lack in heart. Their defense combined with Spains inability to hit an open shot kept them in the drivers seat throughout and cemented a 9 point lead on Lakers center Pau Gasol's team.

Pau, coming off surgery on his left index finger shot 4- 10 from the field and a mere 1 of 8 from the free throw line for 9 points. Hopefully that finger wont be an issue for the upcoming NBA season.
