The ball was in Franz Wagner's hands as the clock wound down on the EuroBasket final. Germany was leading by five, and Turkiye's last-ditch efforts to get back had run out.

Wagner had the honors of killing out the clock, flinging the ball to the opposite end of the court as time expired, enabling Germany to celebrate a second major international tournament gold medal in four seasons.
