Toronto Raptors fans were likely watching the Canadian national team’s matchup against Germany before the FIBA World Cup with great interest. Beyond the obvious reasons to cheer for Team Canada, the German side featured new Raptors point guard Dennis Schroder.
After Schroder played a part in helping Germany dominate against Sweden, he and Orlando Magic star Franz Wagner took matters into their own hands late. Schroder and Wagner helped turn a 79-79 tie into an 86-81 victory for Germany in one of their tune-up games.
Schroder finished with 16 points, seven rebounds, and eight assists in the game, showing off his ability to impact the game in so many different ways.
