The second round of EuroBasket, another match that served as a warm-up for the world champion - after Montenegro, Germany easily handled the match with Sweden.
The Scandinavian team ultimately fared slightly better than Montenegro, as they were defeated 105:83.
Our national team was down 30 points (106:76), but unlike Nikola Vučević and his teammates who were leading after two quarters, Mikko Ripinen's team was not in the game at any point.
What perhaps justifies the Swedes is that they played in this match without NBA trump card Pele Larsen.
The world champions were led to victory at the Nokia Arena in Tampere by the NBA duo of Denis Schroeder with 23 points and seven assists and Franc Vagner with 21 points.
Better than the others on the losing team was Melvin Pancar with 18 points.
