Tony Parker finished with a team-high 23 points but it was the play of his team-mates Florent Pietrus and Tariq Kirksay that helped put Les Bleus in a good position in Group F. Parker was on the bench for the early part of the second quarter when Claude Bergeaud's men used a 15-2 run to turn a 28-28 tie into a 43-30 lead thanks to the play of Pietrus and Kirksay. They each had five points in the spurt, one that proved decisive as Germany rarely got any closer than six points the rest of the way. Pietrus admitted after the game that the players were much more aggressive than they had been in their group games. "In the preliminary round we didn't move the ball well, and sometimes just watched Tony Parker makes plays,'" he said. "Today we did a much better job in that aspect. The players were more active and moves the ball and so it was easier for us to score and win the game." Dirk Nowitzki (Germany) Nowitzki got few open looks at the basket against France Another key factor for France was obviously to try and contain or at least slow down Dirk Nowitzki but more importantly to limit his team-mates' contributions. Bergeaud was happy with his team's performance in that regard. "Our goal was to limit the other players, and especially stop the way they develop the game to score from outside. We didn't mind their shooting inside, but not from the outside. During the game, our rhythm of fastbreak allowed us to control the tempo of the game, and the game was won 10 minutes before the end," he summed up. Bergeaud's counterpart, Germany coach Dirk Bauermann was gracious in defeat and admitted that some minor plays decided the outcome of the game. "They played a very good game and moved the basketball very well. Tony Parker did a good job with making shots. We didn't spent enough energy on the defensive end in the first half. We were just a rebound here and there from getting back into the game, but overall it was a disappointing game for us. We'll have to find our game for the next match to make it to the next level. Every time we needed to make a play on either hand we couldn't make it. It was one of those games." After the teams traded baskets for much of the game's opening five minutes, France took the first significant lead thanks to a six-point possession. With the game tied at 13 all, Germany turned the ball over and Steffen Hamann was called for an unsportsmanlike foul on the streaking Parker and the French guard converted both shots from the foul line. Ronny Turiaf did likewise seconds later after he faked Patrick Femerling out of his shoes and the German center had no choice but to grab his opponent. Boris Diaw then hit a jumper from the top of the key to go up 17-13. France added four more unanswered points to cap a 10-0 run that turned a 13-11 deficit into a 21-13 lead. Ademola Okulaja helped restore some offense for Germany and Bauermann's side trailed 26-20 at the end of the first quarter.
