Doncic's 39 not enough for Slovenia; Serbia, Germany advance

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.
