Nikola Jovic delivered a standout performance with 22 points as Serbia defeated Germany 91–81 in Munich, keeping their flawless record intact after six warm-up games leading into EuroBasket.

Jovic was highly efficient in his 28 minutes on the court, connecting on 7 of 11 attempts from the field, including four three-pointers on seven tries.

Serbia’s balanced offense also saw contributions from Tristan Vukcevic, who added 11 points and five rebounds, while veterans Bogdan Bogdanovic and Marko Guduric chipped in 11 points each, with Bogdanovic also recording four assists and four rebounds.

Nikola Jokic took on more of a playmaking role rather than focusing on scoring. The reigning NBA Finals MVP finished with seven assists, seven points on 3-of-7 shooting, and eight rebounds, anchoring Serbia’s attack and helping orchestrate the team’s second-half surge.

On the German side, Franz Wagner shined with a game-high 26 points, showcasing his offensive versatility. Tristan da Silva contributed 14 points, while Dennis Schröder posted 12 points and dished out five assists.

The contest was tightly fought in the first half, with Serbia holding a 38–32 advantage at the break. Coming out strong in the third quarter, the visitors extended their lead to 70–55 heading into the final frame.

Germany rallied behind Wagner to cut the deficit to just two points at 73–71, but Serbia kept its composure. A timely 10–2 run reestablished control, and Svetislav Pešić’s squad never looked back, closing out another impressive victory to remain unbeaten.
