German basketball is having a great summer. Dirk Nowitzki went into the Hall of Fame, and now his homeland stands atop the men's international basketball world. Dennis Schroder scored 28 points, Franz Wagner added 19 and Germany capped off an unbeaten run through the World Cup by holding off Serbia 83-77 in the final on Sunday night. It was Germany's first World Cup title. Before now, its top showing in the event was a bronze at Indianapolis in 2002. Aleksa Avramovic scored 21 and Bogdan Bogdanovic added 17 for Serbia, which lost the title game for the second time in the last three tournaments.

Makoto Hiejima scored 23 points, Yuta Watanabe added 21 and Japan roared back from a 15-point third-quarter deficit to beat Venezuela 86-77 on Thursday in a classification round game at the Basketball World Cup in Okinawa, Japan. Yuki Kawamura scored 19 for Japan, which would clinch a berth in the Paris Olympics with a win over Cape Verde on Saturday.
