The saga of “FIBA Patty” Mills continued Tuesday, as the 35-year-old guard led Australia, again. But Serbia’s stifling second half defense rallied Nikola Jokic & Co. from a 24-point deficit to advance to the Olympic men’s semifinals. In @TheAthletic:

That knock off by Jokic on the Mills drive was brilliant. Bigs should look for that on switches because the little guy is going high off the board-it’ll hit front rim a lot of times and bounce up – 10:41 AM
