Luka Doncic and Slovenia faced Israel in their last group-stage game of EuroBasket 2025. Slovenia had stumbled through the group stage, splitting its first four games to land the fourth spot in Group D. The team had lost to Poland and France before defeating Iceland and Belgium to keep its hopes alive.
Meanwhile, much to everyone’s surprise, Israel fared better than the Lakers star’s national team, winning three of its first four games. With just one loss against Poland, Israel comfortably held the third position in Group D.
Thursday’s game started with the Slovenians looking to quickly get some ground, putting up four quick 3-point attempts. Meanwhile, the game plan for Israel seemed clear. They penetrated the paint, looking to get easy points at the rim. On defense, the team set up to limit Doncic’s touches and keep the ball out of his hands.
