Germany 88:83 Türkiye
4th quarter, still 00:00 – this is the title! Germany is European basketball champion!
4th quarter, still 00:08 – Şengün rejects the threesome! The rebound is at Schröder. He is fouled. And if he makes a basket, that’s almost the title!
4th quarter, still 00:18 – Dennis Schröder! Germany only rejects on the offensive, but gets the rebound. And Schröder plays free – and then meets from the middle distance. That is three points for Germany!
4th quarter, still 00:47 – Şengün moves an attempt to throw, Germany has the rebound!
4th quarter, still 01:15 – Dennis Schröder moves to the basket and scores two points over the board.
4th quarter, still 01:34 – Shane Larkin with the strong answer for Turkey, his layup is sitting.
4th quarter, still 01:49 – Daniel Theis with the threesome! The rather pale center gets a pass from Schröder – and hits.
4th quarter, still 02:02 – Shane Larkin gets two free throws – and transforms both.
4th quarter, still 02:14 – Isaac Bonga with the next dark. It is balanced again. Not for the faint of heart in Riga.
4th quarter, still 02:59 – huge luck for Turkey. First the Turks do the next three, then you are lucky with an offensive foul whistle against Franz Wagner, who meets the basket.
4th quarter, still 03:22 – what a scene. Schröder steals the ball here, but his steep pass on Wagner is too bad, Turkey is again in possession of the ball.
4th quarter, still 03:35 – Isaac Bonga! I repeat: Isaac Bonga! While Franz Wagner and Dennis Schröder hardly hit any throws here, it is Bonga who brings the lead here with a threesome Germany. What an incredible final!
4th quarter, still 03:48 – foul whistle against Daniel Theis, Germany remains in possession of the ball.
4th quarter, still 04:13 – Andreas Obst! The shooting Guard meets again from outside, that’s important.
