Germany's entry into the EuroBasket final was marked by a standout performance from point guard Dennis Schroeder, who scored 26 points and tallied 12 assists against Finland. The Germans decisively halted Finland's historic semi-final run, winning 98-86.
Despite Finland's strong start, their efforts were soon overshadowed by Germany's prowess. Franz Wagner's 20 first-half points and Schroeder's strategic play boosted Germany to a 61-47 lead by halftime. Finland's comeback attempts, highlighted by cutting the deficit to six, were eventually thwarted as Germany's defense intensified.
