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.
