In Sunday's final, Germany utilized a dominant 22-10 run in the third quarter, led by brothers Franz and Moritz Wagner, to establish a comfortable lead and hold on for the victory. This marked the first all-European final since 2006.

The tournament’s most valuable player, Toronto Raptors point guard Dennis Schroder carried Germany with a game-high 28 points, way above his average of 17.9 points per game, and added two rebounds and two assists.

The two teams, who boast strong teamwork and chemistry, traded baskets in the first half, and entered the break tied at 47 points. But Germany built up a 12-point lead late on in the third quarter and never looked back.
