Dennis Schröder and the German national team beat Team USA, 113-111, on Friday morning to end the Americans’ hopes of winning the FIBA World Cup. Germany got a spectacular performance from Andreas Obst, who ended the night with 24 points as the U.S. allowed him open three after open three while also (again) failing to rebound on defense.
The U.S. got a good game from Anthony Edwards — 23 points in 34 minutes — and Austin Reaves contributed 21 points off the bench, but it wasn’t enough to get the job down as the Americans couldn’t overcome the double-digit deficit they suffered entering the fourth quarter, despite Reaves and Edwards’ late attempts at a comeback.
