Dennis Schroder and Daniel Theis’ German National Team lost to Luka Doncic’s Slovenian National Team 88-80 to fall to 3-1 in EuroBasket play on Tuesday afternoon, with the two Boston Celtics alumni finding their team now in a three-way tie for the first place spot in EuroBasket’s Group B as a result.
Schroder had the better game of the two, the former Boston floor general putting up 19 points and 5 assists in just under 30 minutes of floor time, while Theis chipped in another 8 points, 3 rebounds, and 1 assist in a little less than 18 minutes of game time.
The former Celtics center got himself into foul trouble in a manner Boston fans can recall all too well, the War on Theis seeing the Salzgitter native picking up a total of five personal fouls despite his limited time on the court.
The loss — Germany’s first of the group stage of play — put the team in a position to need Slovenia to lose to the French National Team to have a chance to win the group outright.
