PARIS — Nikola Jokic had the fifth triple-double in Olympics history to help Serbia beat Germany 93-83 for the Olympic men's basketball bronze medal. Jokic finished with 19 points, 12 rebounds and 11 assists as Serbia collected its first medal in the sport since winning silver in 2016 at Rio de Janeiro. The Serbians bounced back after nearly upsetting the four-time defending gold medalist U.S. team in the semifinals. Vasilije Micic added 19 points and Bogdan Bogdanovic finished with 16. The game was a rematch of last year's FIBA World Cup final, which was won by Germany.
