Group play is finishing up in the Paris Olympics men's basketball tournament. Both France and Germany were 2–0 in Group B, so one of them was going to take one loss into the quarterfinals after a head-to-head matchup.

Remarkably, the French had a terrible effort in front of their home crowd at Pierre Mauroy Stadium and lost 85–71.

Dennis Schroder and Franz Wagner each scored 26 points for Germany, while Moritz Wagner added eight as Germany improved to 3–0 (with a +47 point differential).
