EuroBasket 2022. Poland knocked out Slovenia unbelievably

The culprit of the Ukrainian team in the 1/8 final – the Polish team – perhaps created the main feeling of the tournament. In the quarterfinals, the Poles defeated the European champion – the Slovenian national team led by Luka Doncic. The leader of Slovenia and Dallas did not play the entire match, but was injured – his back, arms and others. Even in such a knockdown situation, Doncic led his partners in the third quarter, when Slovenia managed to attack with a 24:6 and bounce back into the game.

In the fourth quarter, Doncic took the fifth foul and did not finish the game until the end. His partners fought to the end, reducing the rest to three points, but could not carry out the final attack. 90:87 – The victory of the Polish team.

Note that the leader of the Poles, Mateusz Ponitka, had a triple-double with 26 points, 16 rebounds and 10 assists.
