Doncic's 39 not enough as Slovenia falls again in EuroBasket - ESPN

Luka Doncic scored 39 points, but Slovenia (0-2) lost again at EuroBasket after France's deep bench proved too much for the Los Angeles Lakers star's team on Saturday.

France's 103-95 win came two days after Doncic 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 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.

Also in Group D, Belgium overcame a seven-point fourth-quarter deficit to beat Iceland 71-64 and improve to 1-1. Iceland is 0-2.

Germany advances to round of 16

Sacramento Kings point guard Dennis Schroder scored 26 points as Germany beat Lithuania 107-88 to become the first team to qualify for the round of 16.

Orlando Magic forward Franz Wagner added 24 points and seven rebounds and Daniel Theis chipped in with 23 points as Germany got a third win in as many games.

Germany won the game from long range, hitting 19 3-pointers on 54% shooting, with Schröder going 5-of-10 from distance. Schroder also handed out six assists in another strong performance despite him being targeted by racial abuse from two fans who were ejected from the stadium in Tampere, Finland.

Rokas Jokubaitis scored 20 points for Lithuania, which is 2-1, and Denver Nuggets center Jonas Valanciunas had 14 points.

Lithuania pulled to within 55-51 in the third quarter before Wagner scored six points
