The big quality difference between Croatia and Cyprus was visible on the floor in the EuroBasket Qualifiers clash between the two sides.

Roko Prkacin had 24 points plus 10 rebounds and Mario Hezonja scored 22 and added 10 boards of his own to lead Croatia past Cyprus 92 – 63 at home.

It was the second victory in a row for Croatia in the EuroBasket 2025 Qualifiers. The hosts started the game in a pretty dominant fashion to go up 22 – 8 in the first quarter and closed halftime with a 48 – 24 led.

Cyprus couldn’t come back from such a deficit. Croatia kept the same rhythm on offense, finishing with 29 assists for just eight turnovers en route to a blowout win in front of the Rijeka crowd.

Konstantinos Simitzis (17 points), Darral Willis (16 points) and Nikos Stylianou (15 points) stood out from Cyprus, now 0 – 2.
