Over the weekend, the EuroBasket 2025 championship game took place between Germany and Turkey. In this closely contested matchup, Dennis Schroder led the Germans with 12 assists.
Schroder also added 16 points, three rebounds, and one steal. His 12 assists were a EuroBasket championship game record. Fourteen of his 16 points came in the second half. With 18.7 seconds left in the game, Schroder hit a jump shot to put the Germans up by three. Turkey’s Alperen Sengun missed a three-pointer that would have tied the game. Germany was fouled after Sengun’s missed free throw.
