In total, he finished with 16 points and 7 rebounds. Here are some highlights from the game itself.

It has been a strange week for one of the most hypes players in this year's draft.
People began to take to the idea of him hinting he wouldn't declare for the NBA Draft this year, then the Sacramento Kings claimed they wouldn't take the guard if he fell to them. Finally, he was named MVP of EuroLeague.
He is not staying in Real Madrid. I was told by a few teams on Thursday and again Friday – Kings telling others they are not taking Luka – that can always change, but I am hearing Porter Jr and Bamab may be more real than Luka at this stage. https://t.co/lxYqLPkPbn

The MVP bit is pretty neat news for Real Madrid, as the squad will for the second-straight year (third in the last five seasons) be bringing home another Most Valuable Player trophy into their collection.
Joining the ranks of Sergio Llull and Sergio Rodriguez is the highly-touted Slovenian — becoming the youngest EuroLeague MVP in league history.
Doncic has been with Real Madrid since he was 13 and ultimately joined their senior team in 2015 after a phenomenal junior stint that caught the eye of several scouts.
Doncic will have one final chance to impress the basketball world in the upcoming championship game for Madrid. He will be dawning the all-white against Fenerbahçe Doğuş 0n Sunday in what hopefully will be his swansong as a EuroLeague player.
If your favorite team has a top-two pick in the 2018 NBA Draft, would you want them to select Luka Doncic?
