COLOGNE, Germany (AP) — Lithuania unsuccessfully protested its double-overtime loss to Germany at the EuroBasket tournament on Sunday. It says referees didn’t award it a free throw following a technical foul against Germany in regulation. But FIBA denied the protest and Germany’s win was upheld. The victory was a significant one for the hosts. Franz Wagner scored 32 points, Dennis Schroder added 25 and Germany prevailed 109-107. Also Sunday, Bosnia and Herzegovina surprised Luka Doncic and defending EuroBasket winner Slovenia with a 97-93 victory.
