Croatia 70 - Germany 68
They had enough opportunities to build a lead in the fourth Q, but they couldn't convert and let Croatia back in the game. It didn't help that nearly every pass out of the painted area resulted in a turnover. 20 defensive rebounds to 13 opponent offensive rebounds is also a telling stat.
Nonetheless that was one more inspiring effort by the Germans, who played overall a promising tournament with highs and lows.
