Boston alums Dennis Schroder, Daniel Theis survive comeback bid from Montenegro as Germany advances 85-79 in EuroBasket knockout round

Two more Celtics alumni push their team to the round of eight in EuroBasket knockout play.

Boston Celtics alumni Dennis Schroder and Daniel Theis helped their German National Team survive a late onslaught from the Montenegrin National Team in EuroBasket play on Saturday afternoon, advancing from the knockout stage game with an 85-79 victory over Montenegro after falling behind by as much as 16 points early in the game.

The former Celtics floor general put up a solid 22 points, 4 rebounds, 8 assists, and a steal, but turned the ball over 5 times and shot just 28.6% from beyond the arc. Ex-Boston big man Daniel Theis had a quieter but more efficient game in the win, scoring 9 points and 4 boards, but picked up 5 personal fouls in just over 20 minutes of floor time, the War on Theis continuing.

Montenegro nearly upset Germany, coming to within 3 points of taking the lead in the game’s final minutes after coming back from a 27-point hole.

Celtics alum Juancho Hernangomez helps lift Spain past Montenegro 82-65 in EuroBasket play

The win also secured a spot for the former Boston big man and his Spanish National Team in Berlin for the next phase of EuroBasket play.

Former Boston Celtics big man Juancho Hernangomez helped Spain defeat Montenegro, 82-65, while coming off the bench. With the win, Spain improves to 3-1 and leads Group A in EuroBasket play.

The star of the Netflix film, “Hustle,” put up 6 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists and a steal in a reserve role. His shooting was unusually bad. “Bo Cruz” hit 2-of-7 from the field overall and 2-of-5 from 3. He did not get to the free throw line. Hernangomez committed two personal fouls and one turnover in one of his less efficient outings in the EuroBasket so far.

The win secured a spot for the former Boston big man and his Spanish National Team for the next phase of EuroBasket play.
