Andreas Obst scored 24 points, Franz Wagner added 22 and Germany shredded the U.S. defence for much of the way in its first win over the Americans
The U.S., down by 10 midway through the fourth, nearly pulled off a comeback, getting within one point on two separate occasions in the final minutes. But the Americans never got the lead, and it was the Germans jumping and hugging as time expired.
Germany had been 0-6 against the Americans in World Cup or Olympic competition, usually getting blown out in those games.
