The Crvena zvezda player delivered a strong performance against Bosnia and Herzegovina, tallying 16 points, seven assists, and three rebounds. He was impactful on both offense and defense during his 22 minutes on the court.

"It looked phenomenal. I don't know what to say, it was a very important win for us. We know how we played at their place, we learned from it. It's great to finish these qualifiers with a victory." - Nikola Đurišić

The standout performers in this match all shared the name Nikola. Jokić recorded a triple-double, Jović scored 32 points, and Đurišić contributed 16 points.

"It just worked out that way... I don't know, we know who's capable, who's the best, but someone else always steps up. That's what makes us a team." - Nikola Đurišić

It's evident that Nikola has been diligently working on his three-point shot, which is now falling with increasing consistency.

"Yes, I've always had a shot. Just kidding. I think it's mostly about confidence; the more you train, the better you'll get. I'm glad it went in today." - Nikola Đurišić
