SLOVENIA'S Luka Doncic takes a shot against France in a Group D game in the EuroBasket event.
France's 103-95 win came two days after Doncic had scored 34 points in Slovenia’s 105-95 defeat to co-host Poland.
Point guard Sylvain Francisco came off the bench to lead France with 32 points in the game played in Katowice, Poland. France improved to 2-0 in Group D.
Doncic made 19 of 20 free throws, grabbed eight rebounds and had nine assists, but it wasn’t enough as Francisco helped fuel 78 points by France’s bench players, compared to just 26 from Slovenia's.
Washington Wizards pair Bilal Coulibaly and Alex Sarr combined for 25 points to help pace France, with 12 points from Zaccharie Risacher of the Atlanta Hawks.

Sacramento Kings point guard and former Laker Dennis Schréder scored 26 points as Germany beat Lithuania 107-88 to become the first team to qualify for the round of 16 at EuroBas-ket on Saturday.
