Luka Doncic after his 36-10-4 game: “My teammates, they pushed me. I hadn’t had a good game since I’ve been here. … This is how we should play, being aggressive.”
Germany got Mad Luka tonight and I probably wouldn’t want to be France tomorrow, either: dallasnews.com/sports/maveric… – 6:20 PM

Which one of you, Jokic of Giannis is in the best position to reach the single-game scoring record for EuroBasket?
Doncic: Probably Giannis. You said who’s going to score the most points in one game. I’d bet on Giannis.
Why?

17-7 for Doncic. Slovenia 44-36 at the half. Not just Luka, but the entire team playing much harder than at any point in the tournament . Hold Germany to 35%, inc a goose egg for Wagner who had 32 in the 2OT loss to Lithuania. Schröder leads them w/10 – 3:23 PM
