Three-Pointers That Broke the Opponent
Katarina Radulović scored key points to give Montenegro a slight edge going into the last quarter. Hungary led for the last time early in the fourth, but then Jelena Bulajić hit not one, but two crucial three-pointers – one with 2:37 left, and another 77 seconds before the buzzer. Hungary tried to close the gap, but Janja Dragišić sealed the deal.
