RIGA, Latvia — Dennis Schroder<\/a> simply took over to deliver more gold for Germany.<\/p>\n

Schroder had the game’s final six points, Isaac Bonga scored a team-best 20 points and Germany topped Turkey 88-83 on Sunday in the gold medal game at the European championship.<\/p>\n

It was Germany’s first EuroBasket title since 1993 and comes two years after the team — largely with the same core — won the World Cup title in 2023.<\/p>\n

“We never shy away from the big moments. … Everybody is so confident,” said Schroder. “Just big-time plays from big-time character people.”<\/p>\n

Franz Wagner<\/a> scored 18 points and Schroder finished with 16 points and 12 assists for Germany, which finished the tournament 9-0. The game had 15 lead changes and 11 ties, with the final lead change coming when Schroder scored on a drive to put Germany up by one with 1:15 left.<\/p>\n

He added a jumper with 18.7 seconds remaining, and after Turkey’s Alperen Sengun<\/a> missed a 3-pointer that would have tied it, Schroder sealed gold with a pair of free throws.<\/p>\n

“To be a World Cup winner and a European champion, that’s big time,” said Schroder, who was named EuroBasket MVP.<\/p>\n

Sengun had 28 points for Turkey, which got 23 from Cedi Osman and a 13-point, nine-assist, six-rebound game from Shane Larkin.<\/p>\n
