Slovenia completed its undefeated run at EuroBasket 2017, beating Serbia 93-85 in Sunday's final to capture the country's first-ever gold medal at a FIBA event.

Miami Heat guard Goran Dragic led the way for Slovenia, finishing with a game-high 35 points to go along with seven rebounds, three assists, and two steals. Former NBA big man Anthony Randolph had 11 points and three blocks, while potential No. 1 pick Luka Doncic chipped in eight points and seven rebounds.

Sacramento Kings rookie Bogdan Bogdanovic finished with 22 points and five assists for the losing side, while Detroit Pistons center Boban Marjanovic collected six points and three rebounds.

Unsurprisingly, Dragic took home tournament MVP honors.
