Head coach Gordon Herbert hailed Germany's "team-first" attitude after they beat Serbia to win the Basketball World Cup for the first time on Sunday, Sept. 10, going unbeaten throughout the tournament.
Germany beat the Serbians 83-77 in Manila, breaking clear in the third quarter before hanging on for the win in a nervy finish. "If one team like Germany won all the games from the start until the end, we must everybody say bravo." "We embrace it, we compete on the highest level, and that's the reason why we did what we did. We wrote history."
Serbia were playing without power forward Borisa Simanic, who underwent surgery to remove a kidney after getting injured earlier in the tournament.
