In the second semi-final of the evening, Spain defeated the Finns in a familiar game by Gordon Herbert coached by Germany and advanced to the final. The final numbers were 96–91, to the disappointment of the home crowd.
Spain rallied from ten points behind in the second half to win. Lorenzo Brown bagged no less than 29 points.
NBA point guard Dennis Schroeder scored as many as 30 points for Germany in the match, but it was a thin consolation in the end.
