KAYSERI, Turkey (AP)?Dusko Savanovic and Marko Keselj scored 21 points
each to help Serbia rebound from a double-overtime loss to beat Jordan 112-69 in
group play at the basketball World Championships on Monday.
After losing to Germany 82-81 less than 24 hours earlier, Serbia (2-1) used
its height to dominate Jordan inside. Center Nenad Krstic(notes) sat out the last of
his three-game suspension for a pre-tournament brawl in Greece, but backup
center Kosta Perovic(notes) added 20 points for Serbia.
Guard Milos Teodosic returned to score seven points with seven assists.
Osama Daghles had 19 points for Jordan (0-3), which struggled defensively
against its more athletic opponent. Serbia shot 71.7 percent from the field and
52.6 percent from the 3-point line.
