Germany on Sunday defeated Turkey’s national basketball team 83-88 in the EuroBasket 2025 final, in what was a tension-soaked match. <\/p>\n

Rallying with captain Dennis Schr\u00f6der, Germany scored the final six points after Turkey had led for most of the game.<\/p>\n

Shane Larkin, \u015eehmus Hazer, Cedi Osman, Ercan Osmani and Alperen \u015eeng\u00fcn started as Turkey’s squad at Arena Riga in Latvia against Germany’s Schr\u00f6der, Obst, Bonga, Theis and Wagner.<\/p>\n

Turkish coach Ergin Ataman and his students started the game very quickly and had a 13-2 run before Germany equalised with points from Bonga and Schr\u00f6der, closing the first quarter with a 22-24 lead over the Turks.<\/p>\n

The first half of the final game, in which the two undefeated teams faced each other for the first time since 2003, ended 46-40 with the Turkish national team dominating the game.<\/p>\n

The third quarter started with aggressive offences from both teams.<\/p>\n

With 5 minutes left in the quarter, Houston Rockets’ Turkish star Alperen \u015eeng\u00fcn was fouled for a basket foul, and the “12 Giant Men” regained the lead against Germany.<\/p>\n

Turkey increased the difference to 6 points with Cedi Osman’s three-pointer, bringing the score to 61-55.<\/p>\n

One minute before the end of the third quarter, Germany, the top scorer of the tournament with 101 points, brought the score to 63-65 with consecutive points, but the “12 Giant Men” tied the score again with a basket by Adem Bona, a Turkish power forward of Nigerian origin.<\/p>\n

The quarter ended with a 67-66 lead for the Red-Whites.<\/p>\n

The fourth quarter of the game, which was marked by Cedi Osman’s three-pointers, also started fast.<\/p>\n

The last quarter, which was marked by Shane Larkin’s double-double performance, was very competitive\u2014 and with 3:48 left in the game, Turkey entered the final quarter with a 76-74 lead. <\/p>\n

However, Bonga’s three-pointer put Germany ahead and brought the score to 76-77.<\/p>\n

Two minutes before the end of the game, Turkey reached an 81-79 lead against Germany with Shane Larkin’s free throws.<\/p>\n

In the last seconds of the game, Germany took the upper hand in play and attained victory over Turkey with a decisive score of 83-88.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Published on 15\/09\/2025 – 5:31 GMT+2 \u2022Updated 5:35 ADVERTISEMENT Germany on Sunday defeated Turkey’s national basketball team 83-88…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":144069,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[574],"tags":[64,63,726,40755,5717,85,90350],"class_list":["post-144068","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-basketball","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-basketball","tag-fiba","tag-germany","tag-sports","tag-turkiye-turkey"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/144068","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=144068"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/144068\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/144069"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=144068"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=144068"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=144068"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
