Germany secured a notable victory against Turkey, winning 88-83 on Sunday to claim the EuroBasket title for the first time since 1993. Point guard Dennis Schröder played a pivotal role in the final moments by executing a critical jump shot, followed by two essential free throws that contributed to the team’s success.
The reigning World Cup champions demonstrated a strong defensive strategy throughout the match, with Isaac Bonga making vital contributions during the closing stages. Schröder subsequently assumed leadership, delivering an exemplary performance in the role of point guard.
The contest commenced with both teams aggressively shooting three-pointers while also engaging in blocks and physical challenges. Turkey established a six-point lead at halftime; however, Germany quickly overcame this deficit at the beginning of the third quarter through a vigorous resurgence.
Alperen Sengun of Turkey, who was hindered by three fouls during the first three periods, returned to the game early in the fourth quarter. He successfully executed a challenging hook shot and drew a charge on the defensive end, thereby aiding Turkey in maintaining a narrow three-point advantage.
