For the past several years, it's no secret that Bogdan Bogdanovic has been among the leaders of the Serbian national basketball team.

That didn't change in this year's FIBA World Cup.Bogdanovic fired 21 points to power the Serbian squad to a convincing 87-68 victory over Lithuania in the quarterfinal round of the World Cup on Tuesday night, Sept. 5 at the Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay City.Bogdanovic converted 9-of-13 shots from the field, which included 2-of-4 from three-point territory. The native of Belgrade also collected four rebounds, three assists and two steals.

''But as a player, we're all the same in that locker room, so I don't know.''Maybe I said something to Guduric that he liked. I'm happy that he took that as a high point for him and helped him, but honestly, I don't remember what I said. But it's good. It feels great,' added Bogdanovic.Serbia defeated a Lithuania side that handed the Americans a 110-104 defeat two nights ago.
