Luka Doncic sets records with a triple-double in just 30 minutes at EuroBasket, leading Slovenia to victory with 26 points, 10 rebounds, and 11 assists.
Doncic’s stellar performance in Slovenia’s 86-69 win over Belgium showcased his dominance on the court. Despite struggling with his outside shot, Doncic’s all-around game shined through with three steals and remarkable passes, including a highlight lob pass from near half court that secured his historic triple-double, the fifth in EuroBasket history.
At just 26 years old, Doncic surpassed 400 career points in EuroBasket, becoming the youngest player to achieve this milestone since Tony Parker in 2007. His scoring prowess now ranks third among all Slovenian players in history, highlighting his impact on the national team’s success.
Slovenia relies heavily on Doncic’s monster performances, especially in the absence of key players like Vlatko Cancar. Doncic’s ability to elevate his team was evident in this game, where his exceptional play propelled Slovenia to their first win in the tournament.
