Germany won the European Basketball Championship bronze medal with an 82-69 victory over Poland on Sunday. The win was driven by former Boston Celtic Dennis Schroder.
The German floor general had another excellent game, putting up 26 points, a rebound, 6 assists and a steal in just under 33 minutes of floor time. Schroder shot a very good 7-of-10 from the field, 4-of-7 from 3 and 8-of-9 from the charity stripe. Fellow former Celtic Daniel Theis added 9 points, 6 boards, an assist and as many steals in the win, shooting a more modest 3-of-7 from the field, 1-of-2 from deep and 2-of-3 from the line.
The victory gives Germany its first EuroBasket medal since 2005, when it won silver.
