Germany's veteran point guard, Dennis Schröder, played a pivotal role in securing the victory, leading the scoring charge with an impressive 28 points. His contributions on both ends of the floor were crucial, as he not only delivered points but also played tenacious defense. Despite being more of a scorer than a creator in this crucial match, Schröder's impact was undeniable.
The versatile offensive threat, Franz Wagner, also shone brightly for Germany, adding 19 points to the scoreboard. Big man Johannes Voigtmann made his presence felt with 12 points, 8 rebounds, and a crucial block. Notably, Voigtmann's defensive efforts limited Nikola Milutinov, one of the competition's dominant big men, to a mere 2 points and 4 rebounds.
Bogdan Bogdanovic's early scoring surge for Serbia was electric, amassing 17 points in the first half, including three successful three-pointers. However, the Atlanta Hawks veteran couldn't maintain his rhythm in the second half.
