The 2023 FIBA World Cup is now complete. Germany has now completed a magical run, winning the Gold Medal for the first time ever and their first medal since taking bronze at the 2002 FIBA World Championship in the United States. They defeated Serbia, 83-77 earlier today at the Mall of Asia Arena in Manila, Philippines.
The match was pretty even throughout most of the first half, but the Germans were able to get a consistent lead during the second half, expanding their lead to as many as 12 points, though the margin narrowed a bit in the game’s final minutes.
