This is the second European Basketball Championship title in Germany's history. The Germans won their first one 32 years ago in 1993. Now the Germans are both world and European champions.

The real revelation for the Germans was Isaac Bonga. The Partizan Belgrade forward hit all four three-pointers, grabbed 5 rebounds, dished out 3 assists, worked solidly on defense, and finished the game with 20 points and 27 assists.

Dennis Schroeder had a double-double with 16 points and 12 assists, but he committed six fouls and made only three of nine shots, and had just two points in the first half, both on free throws. However, he scored four crucial points in the final minute to lead the Germans to victory.

Turkey was led by Alperen Šengun with 28 points (10/17 2D, 1/5 3D, 5/6 FP). Team captain Cedi Osman added 23 points, hitting 6 3Ds out of 9 attempts.

The Turks started the match more solidly, having built up a quick 7-point lead (7:0) within a couple of minutes. However, the Germans responded in kind and were already leading in the second half (19:16). F. Wagner, who scored 8 points in the first half, led the Germans to the front, and after the first ten minutes they had a two-point lead (24:22).

The second half continued to be a tough point-to-point battle. A. Šengunas, who scored just three points in the first half, showed his best colors in the second quarter and scored 12 points in the half, and the Turks went into the long break with a 6-point lead (46:40).

Turkish captain C. Osman played a particularly important role on the court. In the third quarter, he hit his fifth three-pointer and helped the team respond to the German team's spurt at a crucial moment. Points from Adem Bona and a missed free throw by D. Schroeder ended the third quarter with the Turks having a minimal advantage (67:66).

In the fourth quarter, the teams traded shots. In the last minute, A. Šengunas had a chance to overturn the score, but missed an easy shot from under the basket. On the other side of the court, D. Schroeder answered with a two-pointer and Germany marched to victory.
