Paris 2024: Jokic inspires Serbia to biggest Olympic comeback against Australia
3-time NBA MVP Nikola Jokic propelled Serbia to come back from 24 points against Australia to book a place in the semifinals of Paris 2024 Olympics.
The Serbian squad captain and Atlanta Hawks player, Bogdan Bogdanović, finished with 16 points while Vasilije Micić, a guard from Serbia, added 19 points as well.

Since winning silver at the 2016 Rio Olympics, Serbia has not placed higher in an Olympic competition until now with the bronze.
Having trailed the Americans by 17 points at halftime and 10 points heading into the fourth quarter, Serbia will undoubtedly feel the sting of having let the gold slip away.

The competition came to an abrupt end for the Germans, who had spent the first part of it looking like a serious contender for the gold medal.
They appeared destined to, at the very least, win the nation's first men's basketball Olympic medal, having just come off of their first-ever FIBA World Cup victory.
However, they lost to France (73-69) in the semifinals, ending a 12-game winning run in international competitions.
