Bozic started the game with a 6 rating in the first quarter (3 points, 2 rebounds), saving his best for the second (12 rating, with 5 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists) and the third quarter, in which he reached double figures in rating with 9 points on the board.
Finally, the power forward stepped up again in the final period, adding 7 points, 2 rebounds and 9 rating points.
In total, the player born in Bjelovar finished with 24 points, shooting 9/9 from the free throw line, 6/8 from two-point range and 1/2 from three-point range. He also grabbed 7 rebounds (5 defensive, 2 offensive), dished out 6 assists and drew 9 personal fouls to reach his best rating mark in the 64 games he has accumulated in Liga Endesa.
