Luka Doncic said he’d rather be ejected from the game than continue to be guarded by Lu Dort.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander absolutely willing Canada to a win after Slovenia’s big run.
SGA scores over 30 points. Big buckets rebounds over multiple Slovenian players.
Superstar performance.
— Brandon Rahbar (@BrandonRahbar) September 6, 2023
the last minute for SGA: jumps over everyone for defensive rebound, and 1 going the other way. rotates to force the miss at the rim, offensive rebound over 2 defenders and fouled on the putback. broke slovenia's back and puts Canada into the semifinals.
