SHOCKER: Poland Eliminates Luka Doncic, Slovenia in EuroBasket ... (Sports Illustrated)

Luka Doncic's Slovenia squad was eliminated by Poland in EuroBasket 2022 play. Now the focus shifts to the Dallas Mavericks.

Poland was held to just 1-13 (7.7 percent) shooting overall in the third quarter. They even took a 65-64 lead early in the fourth quarter, but were unable to out-execute Poland down the stretch. Poland deployed an aggressive defensive strategy by frequently pre-rotating help and overloading the strong side when Doncic had the basketball. Slovenia had trailed 58-39 at halftime after scoring just 13 points in the second period. Both teams kept things close at the very start as Poland held just a three-point edge through one quarter. Despite being a 13.5-point favorite heading into the game, Slovenia suffered a shocking 90-87 loss, resulting in their elimination.
