Slovenia took its first victory at Eurobasket and entered the qualifying trajectory. Alexander Sekulic’s team dominated Belgium 86-69, took the maiden pink card (1-2) and dropped its opponent 0-3.
Leading the match, of course, was Luca Doncic, who is … a team on his own. The 26 -year -old scored 26 points with 10 rebounds and 11 assists, being the fourth in the history of Eurobasket that achieves a triple double. At the same time, the Slovenians had just one more double -digit, Prepelic with 12 points.
On the part of the losers, Van Vlit had 15 points, while Lekom added 13 to 5 rebounds and another 5 assists.
Slovenia had total control since the start of the race, closing the quarter at +6 (16-10). He had the… same in the second to reach +12 at halftime (43-31) and had essentially a security lead. He kept it with relative ease, even when Belgium went on to counterattack in the third period and finally got the pink sheet and a difference (+17) that could play a role in the group’s finale (86-69).
See here the statistics of the race.
