    The Gasol brothers got the better of Dirk Nowitzki, leaving Germany on the brink of elimination at the European basketball championship.

    Marc Gasol scored 24 points and Pau had 19 -- all in the second half -- to lead defending champion Spain past Germany 77-68 Wednesday in the second-round group stage of the tournament.

    Led by 20 points from Tony Parker, France also moved closer to the quarterfinals by beating Turkey 68-64. Host Lithuania used strong shooting to defeat Serbia 100-90.
