Germany beat Serbia 83-77 on Sunday to win the Basketball World Cup for the first time.

The Germans, who went unbeaten through the tournament and were appearing in their first final, dominated the match in the third quarter in Manila.

Serbia launched a furious fourth-quarter fightback, but Germany managed to hold them off and put their name on the Naismith Trophy.

Dennis Schroder finished as Germany's top scorer with 28 points, followed by Franz Wagner with 19.

Germany had beaten the United States in a dramatic semi-final that ended 113-111.

Undefeated. World Champions. 🏆

Serbia, looking to win the title for the first time, lost small forward Ognjen Dobric to injury less than three minutes after the start of the match.

Serbia could not keep up with Germany in the second half. Aleksa Avramovic finished as Serbia's top scorer with 21 points, followed by Bogdan Bogdanovic with 17.

There was little to separate the two teams in a fiercely fought first half that ended 47-47. That all changed in the third quarter when Germany outscored the Serbians 22-10.

In the fourth quarter, Serbia came back into the game to cut the deficit to three points with less than a minute remaining.

But a lay-up from Schroder and a missed three-point attempt from Avramovic ended Serbia's hopes.
