That game will serve as a tune-up ahead of the second round, where the top two teams from each group will participate. The Greece-New Zealand winner on Wednesday will accompany the United States into Group J alongside Montenegro and Lithuania. The top two nations from that four-team group advance to the quarterfinals.

Luka Doncic Puts On A Show in Slovenia's Win over Georgia

Doncic was up to his usual shenanigans in Slovenia's 88-67 triumph over Georgia.

The Dallas Mavericks superstar had a game high of 34 points, 10 rebounds and six assists.

The European side took advantage of its matchup in the paint through the Hernangomez brothers and Usman Garuba.

Santi Aldama of the Memphis Grizzlies led Spain with 15 points, while Willy Hernangomez added 14 points and five rebounds.
