    Without the Wagner brothers, Dennis Schroder's 24 points and 10 dimes did the damage on Luka Doncic & Co. to lead five Germans in double figures.

    Despite dropping 23 in another efficient shooting night, a Doncic-centric offense could not carry the load as the rest of his squad misfired for the most part.

    Slovenia’s 14-point lead at the end of the first frame was erased by its meager nine-point output in the second, with Germany dishing out 27 markers and never looking back.
