Nikola Mirotic was the key for Spain on the way to the semifinal of Rio, he scored 23 points and speaking after the game to the Spanish news agency EFE was proud for what he did.

As he said: “If this was not my best game, then it was one of the more important. I really wanted to play well, especially after the Brazil game, where I made this big mistake at the end. We lost the game and I received much deserved criticism, deserved as well. Since then I’ve been a lot more focused and wanted to help the team. I think I’ve been good when they needed me, so I’m very happy”.

As for the game, he explained: “France can score a lot of points, like us. And we knew that if we defended, we had a good chance to win. So it does not matter how many points I scored. The game was decided in defense, also in rebounds, although we are not the best rebounding team”.
