"Dončić was assessed a technical foul early on and had 22 points as Slovenia led 51-45 at halftime. He picked up his fourth foul early in the third quarter yet kept on scoring, although he appeared inhibited at times by the prospect of fouling out with a fifth foul. The Los Angeles Lakers star -- five of 16 from 3-point range -- had his fifth game of the tournament with at least 30 points scored. Dončić also had 10 rebounds and seven assists."
"Orlando Magic guard Franz Wagner scored 23 points and captain Dennis Schröder added 20 points and 7 assists for Germany, which will face Finland in the semifinals on Friday. Andreas Obst's 3-pointer capped a 12-0 run to put the World Cup champions ahead 77-74 early in the fourth quarter. Slovenia took the lead 86-85 on a Dončić 3-pointer with 4:12 to go before Schröder sank his only 3-pointer -- he missed eight other attempts -- to make it 88-86, and Germany closed it out from there."
"Earlier, the Finns held off a Georgia fightback to win 93-79 and reach the semifinals for the first time. Earlier, Mikael Jantunen led Finland with 19 points and Utah Jazz forward Lauri Markkanen contributed 17 points and six rebounds. "It's been the same group for a long time. It's a very tight group, like coming back and playing with your friends," Jantunen said. "That's the kind of basketball culture in Finland.""
