Match Info
Germany opened their 2023 FIBA Basketball World Cup with a solid 81-63 win over Japan in Okinawa on August 25. The German squad used their physicality and defensive prowess to gradually wear down the host nation in their Group E matchup. While Japan kept the game close in the first half with energetic play, Germany's size and execution took over after the break. A strong third-quarter run, led by Dennis Schröder and the Wagner brothers, created a gap that Japan could not close. The 18-point victory provided Germany with a confident start in a challenging group, while Japan faced a tough task ahead after falling in their opening game.
