For the second game running, Doncic took flight with 34 points, 10 rebounds, and six assists as Slovenia booked its ticket to the next round.
Luka Magic was on display yet again as he scored 12 of his team's 16 first quarter points and dropped 34 in just 31 minutes of play.
And with his latest scoring feat, Luka becomes only the fourth player in World Cup history to register consecutive 30-piece outings after USA's Kevin Durant (2010), Argentina's Luis Scola (2010), and Puerto Rico's Larry Ayuso (2002).
Slovenia eyes a three-game sweep of the group stage over Cape Verde, which won its first-ever World Cup game on Monday, as Georgia fights for a top two finish against Venezuela on Wednesday.
