At the beginning of the third quarter, L. Dončičius received the second technical foul and had to leave the field.

The judges registered an “aggressive blow”: this is how Judge David Guthrie commented on the situation. The incident between the two players occurred while they were fighting under the basket.

L. Dončičius couldn’t believe at first that they would take him out of the square, because he thought that nothing illegal had happened.

“I knew I was going to hit him in anger, but I really didn’t know where to hit him. I watched the replay of the video and saw that my hand hit the opponent below the waist, – said L. Dončičius. – It really wasn’t special. This often happens during games when you are fighting for a better place under the basket.

Sexton, who took the hit, said he didn’t feel bad: “When someone tries to push you into a square, you usually respond at the same time. Then everything is fine. “

Slovenia have already racked up 15 technical fouls this season and another will mean the basketball player will have to miss a game. L. Dončičius finished the match with 15 points on his account.
