Luka Doncic and Slovenia will face Italy in their round of 16 matchup at EuroBasket 2025. It has been a tough road for Slovenia, as the team went 3-2 in the group stage before qualifying for the next stage of the tournament.

Doncic put up stellar numbers as his team dropped its first two games of the tournament before picking up three straight wins. Meanwhile, Italy had gone 4-1 in the group stage, dropping its only game to Giannis Antetokounmpo and Greece.

Sunday's game began with Luka Doncic paving the way for Slovenia, knocking down shots all over the court to quickly put Slovenia in command. Doncic came out of the tunnel like a man on a mission, putting up 20 points in the first quarter with three 3-pointers, while his team displayed exceptional effort on the defensive end.

Slovenia closed the quarter firmly in control, leading by 18 points (29-11). Doncic spent much of the second quarter on the bench after picking up a knock at the end of the first.

This slowed Slovenia's offense and let Italy get back into the game. The Italians got to within four points of the Slovenians, but Doncic checked back in for the final minutes of the second and quickly added 10 points to keep his team in the lead (50-40).

Italy started the second half strong, establishing its presence in the paint with four quick points. Doncic answered for Slovenia, hitting another 3-pointer to keep his team ahead. Alen Omic and Klemen Prepelic also scored for Slovenia, reaching a combined 15 points to extend the lead.

Simone Fontecchio kept Italy in the game, recording 20 points and three rebounds as the rest of the team struggled to find answers for Doncic's solid play and Slovenia's tight-knit interior defense. Doncic reached 35 points as his team led by 16 points heading into the fourth (72-56).

Doncic and company continued their strong run in the final quarter, keeping Italy at bay. The Italians made a strong run led by Danilo Gallinari and Saliou Niang midway through the fourth, getting to within six points of Slovenia (78-72).

Italy tightened up on both ends, capping off their 13-0 run, making it a three-point game with 2:47 in the fourth (78-75). Rok Radovic missed a 3-pointer on the other end, allowing Fontecchio to score on the other end, cutting the lead to one (78-77).

Doncic added two more points to extend Slovenia's lead with one minute left (80-77). Italy failed to find the basket again as Slovenia eliminated it from the tournament, winning 84-77.
