Another 30-piece
30 PTS: Doncic reached 30+ points in a single game at the tournament for the fourth time (34 vs Poland; 39 vs France; 37 vs Israel) – doing so in the first half alone.

All-time top 50
31 PTS: Doncic then entered the top 50 scorers in FIBA EuroBasket history with another three-pointer at the start of the second half.

Multiple 40-point games
40 PTS: Doncic joined an illustrious group of players to score 40 points or more in multiple games in EuroBasket history.
His career-high in the competition came with 47 points against France in the 2022 edition. Lauri Markkanen also achieved the feat earlier in the tournament, with Galis (6), Eddy Terrace (2) and Doron Jamchi (2) the other members.
Chasing Goran
42 PTS: Doncic moved past Jaka Lakovic (509) and tied Ivo Daneu (515) with only Goran Dragic (696) ahead as the Slovenian players with the most points in EuroBasket history.
