After dominating the first quarter and taking a seven-point lead, Brazil cooled off, allowing France to gain the upper hand in the second half.

Cristiano Felicio dominated in the paint, scoring 14 points and grabbing six rebounds. The team's captain, Huertas, contributed 11 points and five assists.

Germany's defensive prowess and deep shooting bench give them a slight edge over Brazil's offensive firepower. While the South Americans can be explosive and clutch, their defensive inconsistency could be their downfall. Expect another high-scoring affair as Germany's efficient offense looks to continue its hot streak. Brazil, though capable of scoring at least 70 points, will need to elevate their defensive intensity to compete.
