Luka Doncic barely had to play in Slovenia's Olympic basketball qualifying tournament debut.
Zoran Dragic scored 16 points, Doncic and Vlatko Cancar each added 13 and Slovenia rolled past Angola 118-68 on Wednesday during qualifying play at Kaunas, Lithuania. Doncic only played 17 minutes, checking out for good midway through the third quarter.
"We had a great start," Doncic said.
The qualifying tournaments going on this week -- taking place in Lithuania, Croatia, Serbia and Canada -- will determine the final four teams in the men's field for the Tokyo Olympics. Group play runs through Thursday, followed by semifinals on Saturday at all four sites and finals a day later.
The winners of those four games on Sunday, one team from each site, will be the final additions to the Olympic tournament.
Yanick Moreira scored 15 points for Angola, which was eliminated from Olympic contention with the loss.
Records: Slovenia 1-0, Angola 0-2.
Up next: Slovenia plays Poland on Thursday. Both teams will advance to Saturday's Kaunas region semifinals.

Also at Kaunas on Wednesday, Venezuela had a 21-point lead in the third quarter trimmed to one before hanging on to defeat South Korea.
Venezuela led 59-38 early in the third before South Korea went on a 26-6 run, drawing within 65-64 on a 3-pointer from Byeon Junhyeong late in the quarter. But Venezuela never lost the lead, and outscored the South Koreans 29-16 in the final 11 minutes.
