GERMANY-SLOVENIA 99-91—   The Germans staged a thrilling comeback, nullifying Doncic’s 39 points and earning their place in the next round. Despite their opponents’ flying start, Germany gradually got into the game, capitalizing on Slovenia’s difficulties in defending the pick-and-roll. The second half started badly for Doncic and his teammates, with Luka picking up his fourth foul early on. Coach Sekulic’s team held their ground, despite the limited playing time—especially on defense—of the Lakers star. But Maodo Lo’s three-pointer from midcourt at the buzzer of the third quarter was the spark that ignited the German comeback. Immediately after, Obst added a one-legged acrobatic shot from the arc: this time it was Germany who pulled away. Wagner and Schroder, the two men behind the victory, then sealed the deal. Germany: Wagner 23, Schroder 20, Theis 15 Slovenia: Doncic 39, Prepelic 13, Hrovat 11
