Luka Doncic continues EuroBasket magic with lightning-quick 15 points in first quarter

Luka Doncic and his Slovenian team faced Kristaps Porziņģis's Latvia in another exhibition game on Friday of the FIBA EuroBasket 2025. After the first quarter, it would be safe to say that the NBA has gotten an early warning to showcase its masterclass.

The Slovenian star scored 15 points in the first quarter, playing just 9 minutes. At one point, it seemed like the LA Lakers star was toying with his opponents, casually draining a half-court 3-point shot. In the first minute alone, Doncic had made two 3-pointers.

After the conclusion of the first quarter, Luka Doncic had 15 points, 3 assists and 2 rebounds.
