For the 10000th time in my life, I have been wrong when it comes to picking winners in a sporting event.
France took down Slovenia by a score of 90-89 in what appeared to be an absolute thriller. Evan Fournier (checks notes... Oh wow), yes Evan Fournier had 23 points on 50% shooting while Luka had an 18-point triple-double on the other side.
In reviewing the play-by-play it seems that Luka passed up the last shot of the game. This is not something that the most locked-in player in the world should be doing in crunch time. It was a shame to see them go down as I wanted to see the Slovenian team match up against the United States in the gold medal match.
Luka will bounce back and likely have an insane season for the Mavs this year. A reminder to everyone that Marvin Bagley was taken ahead of Luka Doncic in the draft... Kings fans look away.
