Clearly Eflrid cannot adjust to international officiating. Picked up first foul one minute in again.

Marcus Smart has also had problems with it, more so than Elfrid. Both are tenacious defenders in college, so I dont think that's a coincidence

Serbia 9-11 from the line, 4 points off turnovers, 10 points in the paint, 4 points of 2nd chance and 0 fast break.

Usually, we have a big run in us at some point. Hopefully, we do that now.

Also, Aaron Gordon is a monster.
