Slovenia suffers another defeat at EuroBasket as Doncic scores an impressive 39 points, with France and Serbia advancing in the tournament.

In the ongoing EuroBasket tournament, several exciting matches took place on Day 3, with some teams securing their spots in the knockout phase.

Memphis Grizzlies forward Santi Aldama led the defending champions Spain (1-1) with 19 points in a dominant 88-67 victory over Bosnia and Herzegovina (1-1). France also claimed a win, as the Washington Wizards pair Bilal Coulibaly and Alex Sarr combined for 25 points to help France in their game against Slovenia.

Serbia's Nikola Jokic scored an impressive 39 points, including the final two from the free-throw line, to help Serbia edge Latvia 84-80. Jokic's record points total for Serbia was bettered in this game, surpassing his previous best of 32 points. Unfortunately, Serbian captain Bogdan Bogdanovic, a guard for the Los Angeles Clippers, missed the game due to a hamstring injury.

Belgium overcame a seven-point, fourth-quarter deficit to beat Iceland 71-64 and improve to 1-1 in Group D. Italy (1-1) also secured a win, as Heat forward Simone Fontecchio scored 14 to help Italy beat Georgia (1-1) 78-62 in Group C.

Germany (3-0) continued their impressive form, winning the game from long range, hitting 19 3-pointers on 54% shooting, with Schroder going 5-of-10 from distance. Orlando Magic forward Franz Wagner added 24 points and seven rebounds, and Daniel Theis chipped in with 23 points as Germany improved to 3-0 in Group B. Miami Heat's Pelle Larsson scored 23 as Sweden (1-2) beat Britain (0-3) 78-59 in the same group.

Houston Rockets center Alperen Sengun scored all 20 of his points in the first half as Turkiye trounced Portugal 95-54. Estonia (1-2) also registered a win, beating Czechia (0-3) 89-75 in Group A, ensuring a spot in the playoffs for Finland (3-0), who were led by Utah Jazz forward Lauri Markkanen's 26 points in a 85-65 win over Montenegro (0-3).

In a closely contested match, France's bench players scored 78 points in the game against Slovenia, compared to just 26 from Slovenia's. This was in stark contrast to their previous encounter, where Luka Doncic scored 39 points for Slovenia in their loss to France at EuroBasket. France's 103-95 win over Slovenia came two days after Doncic scored 34 points in Slovenia's loss to co-host Poland. Deni Avdija of the Portland Trailblazers scored 23 points for Israel in their loss to Poland, while Jordan Loyd, an American-born guard, led Poland with 27 points in the win.

Co-host Latvia fell to 1-2 in Group A after their loss to Serbia, and co-host Cyprus fell to 0-2 following a 96-69 loss to Greece. Greece's Tyler Dorsey and Konstantinos Mitoglou led Greece with 18 points each in the absence of Giannis Antetokounmpo. Sylvain Francisco, a point guard for France, scored 32 points off the bench in the game against Slovenia, but there is no record of him playing for Poland or any other national team besides France in the EuroBasket.
