Doncic leads Real Madrid to EuroLeague crown, named Final Four MVP
Real Madrid's teenage sensation Luka Doncic fought through constant pressure from defending champion Fenerbache to lead the Spanish club to its first EuroLeague championship since 2015.
The 19-year-old finished the contest with 15 points, three rebounds, and four assists. The Turkish powerhouse double-teamed Doncic throughout the match, but he was able to break through and find the open man or get to the line on multiple occasions in what could be his final game in Europe.
Doncic received plenty of help from teammates, with Fabien Causeur finishing with 17 points, including three 3-pointers, and Trey Thompkins adding 10 points and five boards to overcome 28 points from Italian forward Nicolo Melli.
