Lakers’ star Luka Doncic had a triple-double to power Slovenia to an 86-69 victory over Belgium on Sunday and its first win at EuroBasket.
Doncic scored 26 points, had 11 assists and grabbed 10 rebounds in Katowice, Poland.It was only the 4th triple-double at EuroBasket since 1995.
The Lakers standout also became the youngest player (26 years and 184 days) to reach 400 EuroBasket points since Tony Parker in 2007 (25 years, 122 days).
“This is a normal day at the office for him,” Slovenia small forward Edo Muric said of Doncic. “I’m even more glad that today we showed we can play good defense. And that we won.”
After losing to Poland and France — despite 34- and 39-point performances from Doncic — Slovenia next plays Iceland on Tuesday in Group D.
