Luka Doncic’s Slovenia took on Belgium in search of their first 2025 EuroBasket win on Sunday. Slovenia suffered consecutive losses against Poland in the opener and France on Saturday despite 30-point outings from Doncic. Belgium appeared to be an easier opponent for Doncic and Co. They were also in search of their first win after dropping games to the French and Iceland.
Needless to say, with both teams staring at a potential group stage exit, it was a high-stakes clash. The game had a good pace in the first quarter, but neither team could make a shot. Halfway through the frame, both teams failed to score in double digits after shooting a combined 4-for-12.
The scoring picked up as the game progressed. Luka Doncic took over again after a slow start, scoring seven points after going 0-for-4. Edo Muric also continued his momentum from the last game with five points on 100.0% shooting. Slovenia led 16-10 after the opening 10 minutes.
