Powerhouse clash: Jovic stars as Serbia top Germany

MUNICH (Germany) – Serbia stayed perfect in their FIBA EuroBasket 2025 preparations, defeating FIBA Basketball World Cup winners Germany 91-81 in the Final of the DBB SuperCup for their sixth win in a row.

Svetislav Pesic’s side put their depth on display, with Nikola Jovic, Bogdan Bogdanovic and Tristan Vukcevic stepping up in the wake of a quieter game from star man Nikola Jokic, who was held to one made field goal until the fourth quarter.

The center still delivered a near triple-double performance with 7 points, 8 rebounds and 7 assists.

It was the first loss for Germany this summer, who had won their first three friendly games – two against Slovenia and one against Türkiye.

Top performers: Nikola Jovic was one of four Serbia players in double figures, knocking down four three-pointers en route to a team-high 22 points, with the trio of Bogdan Bogdanovic, Tristan Vukcevic and Marko Guduric adding 11 points apiece.

Franz Wagner was the game’s leading scorer with 26 points for Germany, as team captain Dennis Schroder chipped in with 12 points and 5 assists.
