Germany and Slovenia, who qualified for the quarterfinals, played the match to determine the positions of group K, which remained in the hands of the Germans.
Germany beat Slovenia 100-71 and finished in first place in group K. Despite the Balkans’ good start, the reaction came with great confidence from the other side. The Germans dominated the rest of the game, with excellent defense and Schroder driving the offense.
Slovenia started the match on the right foot, taking the first period by 11-35. However, Germany reacted in the second quarter, overturning the partial result to win by 4 before halftime. In the second half, the Germans continued to rise and, with a good defensive work, they managed to dominate their rivals to make a wide difference that lasted until the end of the match.

Dennis Schroder was the most prominent of the winning team, with a double-double from 24 points and 10 assists. Moritz Wagner with 14 points and 7 rebounds and Isaac Bonga with 12 points and 5 rebounds followed him in scoring.
