Chris Finch's team held their nerve down the stretch to move a win clear at the top of Group B, and they had a lot to thank forward Dan Clark for.

The 21-year-old finished with 23 points, hitting all five of his three-point attempts and missed only two shots all night in arguably the best night of his career.

Veteran Nate Reinking showed why he is still on the international scene at the age of 36 as he scored 21 points and dished out three assists, while Luol Deng and Pops Mensah-Bonsu each finished with 16 points, with the latter pulling down 13 rebounds.

Ratko Varda led the Bosnians with 20 points, while Kenan Bajramovic had 16 and Henry Domercant 14.
GB Standard Life Head Coach Chris Finch was a pleased man after the game.

"This was a big win for us, we didn't play as well but we managed to grind out a result. Bosnia did a good job on Luol and Pops and guys like Dan, Nate and Flinder really stepped up."

Britain now host Ukraine on Saturday and Hungary on Tuesday, and Finch is looking forward to the pair of games at the NIA in Birmingham:"It is good to be headed back to the UK for two games."

Dan Clark was pleased with how the team played as he top scored for the first time: "This was a tough game. Bosnia were coming off of a loss on the road and they played well in the first half. We played tough down the stretch."

GB won the tip, and Deng put the first points on the board and although a pair of Domercant baskets put the hosts ahead, Mensah-Bonsu sank three points to give Britain a 5-4 lead after 90 seconds.

That was as good as it got in the early stages for GB, though, and a 12-2 run saw Bosnia 18-9 up at the 4:50 mark to force a time-out from Finch.

Ermin Jazvin stretched the hosts' lead, but Reinking broke the run with three pointer and Deng also scored from the Land of Plenty before five Clark points and a buzzer-beater from Flinder Boyd tied the game at 24 going into the first break.
Varda opened the second period scoring to put the hosts back ahead, but a pair of Deng free-throws followed by Clark's second trey of the game put GB 29-26 up.

But the game remained tight, with Bosnia 34-31 up at the five minute mark before Clark hit two more three-pointers to tie the score at 37 with four minutes to play.

It was a one point game in Bosnia's favour heading into the final 90 seconds, but the home side closed out the quarter with a 6-0 run to lead 48-41 at half-time.

Clark took his tally to 16 with the first score of the second half and five straight Reinking points followed by a hook shot from Clark tied the score at 50 with three minutes gone.

Coach Finch was called for a technical foul just after the mid-stage of the third period after an apparent push went unpunished, and Domercant hit both free-throws before Boyd fouled Varda on the inbound, and he sunk both free-throws to make it a six point game.

Almost inevitably, Clark halved the deficit with three and scores from Deng and Boyd put GB 60-59 up and forced a Bosnia timeout with 2:36 left in the period, and the hosts edged things down the stretch as the teams went into the final break level at 64.

Mensah-Bonsu opened the fourth period scoring to put his side ahead. The game continued to be nip and tuck, with Reinking giving GB a 75-73 lead with four minutes remaining.

A Varda hook shot levelled the score at 76 going into the final two minutes, but a pair of Clark free-throws put GB 78-76 ahead with 80 seconds left.

Reinking doubled that lead with a fast-break, Domercant fouled out with 27 seconds remaining to send Deng to the line.

He hit the first, and after Bajramovic missed a three Mensah-Bonsu grabbed the rebound and also hit one of two foul shots.

Kojadinovic hit a three with nine seconds remaining, and Reinking was sent to the line where he missed both free-throws, and Kojadinovic hit only one of two foul shots to make it a two point game with four seconds left.

Reinking got the final points of the night from the line to keep GB's perfect record intact.
