Your garden variety 37 (26 in 1st half) 7-6 for Luka as Slovenia opens with a 100-85 win over Venezuela. 11-18 FG, maybe more importantly 13-16 FT – 9:32 AM

More on this storyline
Matt Williams: Luka Doncic had 37 points today against Venezuela in the FIBA World Cup. That is the most points in a FIBA World Cup game since Yanick Moreira for Angola in 2014 vs Australia (had 38). Doncic shot 9-10 in the paint as well. -via Twitter @StatsWilliams / August 26, 2023
Doncic, 24, led the national team of his country to the win against Venezuela on Gameday 1 of Group F. Up next is Georgia on Monday. Wrapping up the first round, his side will face Cape Verde, headed by his former Real Madrid teammate Walter Tavares. “We spent a lot of time together when I was in Madrid. Great guy and amazing player,” he referred to Tavares in the postgame press conference following his 37-point effort against Venezuela Saturday, “I think he is the most impactful player in EuroLeague.” -via EuroHoops.net / August 26, 2023
Luka Doncic got it going from the very start, ending the first half with 24 points and 4 assists, which allowed Slovenia to have a 5-point lead and eventually take over the game after halftime. “We knew it will be a very difficult game,” Doncic said in the post-game conference. “We played against Venezuela two years ago. They are a very physical team and can shoot the ball very well. It wasn’t an easy game, and we had to fight until the end, but we got the win.” -via BasketNews / August 26, 2023
