Only one team could finish EuroBasket undefeated Sunday when Germany took the court against Turkey in Riga, Latvia with a continental championship on the line.
In the end, it was Magic forwards Franz Wagner and Tristan da Silva who helped lift their home country to just Germany’s second EuroBasket title and first since 1993, years before the Orlando duo were born.
Named to the EuroBasket all-tournament team, Wagner notched 18 points on 53.8% shooting from the field with 8 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks in the 88-83 win over Turkey, who was led by Houston’s Alperen Sengun (28 points).
Playing alongside his older brother Oscar da Silva, the younger Tristan da Silva knocked down 3 of 4 attempts from beyond the arc to rack up 13 points, 4 rebounds and an assist.
