Luka Doncic Leads Slovenia to Victory!…
While Slovenia had already booked their place in the knockout rounds of FIBA EuroBasket 2025, their final group game against Israel was like trying to pick the last slice of pizza—essential for a better shot (pun intended) at the round of 16. Dancing on the court was the duel of two stars, Luka Doncic and Deni Avdija. Despite Avdija’s best efforts, Doncic couldn’t be stopped, like trying to outrun a cheetah on a tricycle. He had an outstanding game with 37 points, helping Slovenia to beat Israel 106-96 and rounding off group play with three wins in a row.
Slovenia started off the tournament a little off-kilter, as unsteady as a penguin on rollerblades, losing to Poland and France. But rolling up their sleeves, they were back on form. Shooting 54.4% from the field with 28 assists on 37 field goals was the cherry on top of Doncic’s 24-point first half sundae. Israel chipped away at Slovenia’s lead like a determined squirrel, but Luka’s return saw him sealing the deal with an NBA-worthy step-back 3-pointer. Now, the sky’s the limit for Luka and Slovenia as they await their next opponent in the thrilling knockouts!
