Germany Clinches EuroBasket Last-16 With 107–88 Win Over Lithuania

The unbeaten holders now chase top seeding with assistant Alan Ibrahimagic in charge during Àlex Mumbrú’s hospital stay.

Overview

  • Germany moved to 3–0 in Group B with a 107:88 victory, securing an early round‑of‑16 berth and a third straight game over 100 points.
  • Dennis Schröder scored 26 points, Franz Wagner added 24, and Daniel Theis had 23 while hitting all nine of his field‑goal attempts.
  • Schröder reported racist monkey noises from spectators; the German federation said two individuals were identified and ejected from the Nokia Arena.
