2015 FIBA U19: Korea unable to stop Serbian surge

In Korea’s second game, they were able to keep pace with Serbia’s firepower, trailing by only 2 points as the 1st quarter ended 24-22.

But the deep Serbian squad pulled away in the middle of the 2nd quarter as they won the quarter 30-18.

Korea would run and gun as one last straw to make a comeback, trying to match Serbia’s firepower with their own fast paced offense, result was a 31-26 swing but Korea still trailed at the end of the 3rd quarter.

4th quarter saw the Serbia cost for the win, 113-83. Jeon Hyun-Woo lead Korea with 31 points.

The first quarter was similar to Korea’s previous game against Greece where Korea kept the fight close in the first quarter, only to succumb against the opposition’s depth.

Korea’s next opponent will be the Dominican Republic.
