Overview
- Germany advanced to the EuroBasket semifinals with a 99-91 win, led by Franz Wagner’s 23 points and Dennis Schröder’s 20 points and 7 assists.
- Despite 39 points, 10 rebounds and 7 assists from Luka Dončić, Slovenia was eliminated as Germany seized control with a 12-0 run early in the fourth quarter.
- Dončić’s 39 set a EuroBasket quarterfinal scoring record, but foul trouble and limited support scoring hindered Slovenia’s late push.
- Germany will face Finland in the semifinals after the Finns beat Georgia 93-79 to reach their first EuroBasket final four as an independent nation.
- The other semifinal pits Turkey against Greece after Alperen Şengün logged a triple-double vs. Poland to become EuroBasket’s youngest to do so and Giannis Antetokounmpo scored 29 vs. Lithuania.
