Doncic is the unquestioned star of the Slovenians — maybe of the entire basketball tournament. But all the attention he draws means opposing defenses have to leave other players open and Doncic is happy to give them the ball. “He’s the team leader, ” Dragic said. “We know that and we accept that, but we have so much weapons on our team and it’s easy to play with him because when he plays, like three guys have to guard him. ”Doncic wasn’t sharp early in the 10 a. local start but picked it up in the second half with his scoring and playmaking to keep Germany from making any serious dent in Slovenia’s lead.
Slovenia shot out to a 23-12 lead by making nine of its first 12 shots, with Dragic going 4 for 4. It was 25-14 after one, but Lo made three 3-pointers in a little over a minute midway through the second as Germany rallied to take a 32-31 edge. Slovenia quickly regained the lead and took a 44-37 lead to the locker room when Dragic made a 3-pointer for the final basket of the half. Dragic made another 3 to open the second half and pushed the lead back into double digits and it wasn’t close again.
Doncic was the leading scorer in the tournament with 28. 3 points per game through the group stage. For the second straight game, he finished just shy of the first triple-double in the Olympics since LeBron James for the U. S. in 2012. Both teams capitalized on last chances to qualify for the Olympics by winning two of the four qualifying tournaments that were held last month. Slovenia has much bigger goals than just getting here.
