Serbia-Germany 81:82 2OT
The game between Serbia and Germany became the most interesting of Day 2. The two European sides needed double overtime to decide a winner. Germany led from the end of the fourth period until the final whistle, while Serbia managed to tie the game twice. Only in the second overtime did Germany manage to grab a valuable 82:81 win to improve their record to 1-1 Continue reading
