Denver Nuggets forward Vlatko Cančar led Slovenia in scoring with 21 points. Luka Dončić, normally brilliant in international play, tallied 14 points, 11 rebounds and 7 assists, but also committed 6 turnovers, shot 5-for-15 from the field and fouled out with 3:02 remaining in regulation. Meanwhile, Mateusz Ponitka headlined Poland's effort. He notched a 26-point, 16-rebound, 10-assist triple double, buried five 3-pointers and drew a critical charge on Dragić with 69 seconds to play — one of two turnovers by Dragić in the game's final three minutes.
Dragić, who returned from retirement from international play to participate in Slovenia's run, finished his final game with 17 points , 5 rebounds, 4 assists and 5 turnovers, bringing his averages for the tournament to 14.9 points, 3.7 assists, 3.6 rebounds, 2.6 turnovers and 1.6 steals in seven appearances. He shot 49.4 percent from the field, 35 percent from 3-point range and 65 percent from the free-throw line.
