Luka Doncic had a new career-high in PIR with a 41 rating and tied his personal scoring best with 27 points as Real Madrid beat Olimpia Milano 100 – 90 in “WiZinik Center”.
“It was a very hard game from the beginning. They played hard and then we did as well. We changed our running, our rebounding and that changed in the third quarter,” Doncic said during his post-game flash interview.
The Slovenian wunderkind was sensational, also notching eight rebounds, five assists, and three steals while committing merely one turnover in the 28:25 minutes he spent on the floor, propelling his team to he 3/3 in EuroLeague.
Meanwhile, Olimpia Milano remained winless despite playing beautiful basketball in the majority of the match. The exploits of Arturas Gudaitis (career-high 20 points plus 7 rebounds) and Drew Goudelock (20 points) weren’t enough for the Red Shoes that failed to defend, receiving 81 points in the first 31 minutes.
