Thunder guard Dennis Schroder and Germany suffered their second consecutive close loss in the FIBA World Cup Tuesday.
With a 70-68 loss to the Dominican Republic, Germany remained in the bottom half of Group G, sinking to a 0-2 record in group play.
A defensive rebound by Paul Zipser in the final minute of the game set up a potential tying shot for Schroder with 31 seconds on the clock. The point guard, who shot 5-of-18 from the field, missed. Thanks to misses on the perimeter by both sides, the score held for the final half minute of the game.
