France beats Doncic & Slovenia 90-89

Posted on August 5, 2021August 5, 2021 by Santiago Leon

Nicolas Batum reached over Prepelic to block the layup try with 2.4 seconds left, the last play in what became France’s 90-89 win over Slovenia in the men’s basketball semifinals at the Tokyo Olympics on Thursday night — overcoming a historic night from Luka Doncic.

Doncic had the third triple-double in Olympic men’s history: 16 points, 10 rebounds and 18 assists. But it wasn’t quite enough, and Slovenia fell to 17-1 all-time when he’s in the national team colors.

He may be good as gold one day, but not yet. France will play the United States on Saturday (11:30 a.m. local time in Japan, 10:30 p.m. Friday EST) to decide the gold medal at the Tokyo Games. France has been this far at an Olympics only once — losing to the Americans in the title game at the 2000 Sydney Games.

Slovenia comes up just short of the gold-medal game in its Olympic basketball debut, losing to France in the semifinals.

Slovenia is averaging 105.8 PPG in the Tokyo Olympics, on pace to be the most by a European country in men’s basketball at a single Olympics all-time.
