by one point. The game seemed over for Slovenia, with France ahead 90–85 and less than a minute left to play. However, Slovenia "battled back behind Prepelic," who in a few seconds managed to score four points, bringing Slovenia just one point of France, 90–89: Dončić entrusted the ball to Prepelič at 35 seconds from the end, and he sunk a clutch three-pointer. After De Colo missed a layup, Dončić again renounced to shoot, and turned the clutch shoot over to Prepelič, who attempted a layup but was blocked by Nicolas Batum. After the game, Rudy Gobert stated that Batum's save was "one of the best blocks he had ever seen." Against France, Prepelič was one of Slovenia's best with Tobey and Dončić. He scored 18 points and 2 assists against Australia, in the bronze medal game, and approached double-double with 7 rebounds. He was Slovenia's top performer in that game. After entering the game towards the end of the first quarter, Prepelič turned it around for Slovenia with a go-ahead three-pointer. In the 3rd quarter he brought Slovenia within 60–66 with 3:30 left in the period, converting a four-point play. Prepelič scored 4 more points, and with a layup brought the score to 75–81 just before Australia's time-out, provoking an ovation from the Slovenian bench. He then scored another three-pointer; Slovenia managed to reach 80–83, but eventually lost 93–107. With 15 points per game he was the 12th scoring leader of the men's basketball tournament heading into the finals, eventually raising it to 15.5 pts after playing Australia. He also averaged 3.33 rebounds, and with 2.7 assists was Slovenia's second assists leader. Prepelič and Tobey were credited as Slovenia's best players at the Tokyo Olympics after Dončić. He was also ranked among the players who "should be on NBA radars" by the end of the tournament.
