Lithuania continued its successful performance in the friendly tournament in Bamberg, Germany. The Baltic side bounced back from a poor start to take a 78-67 (22-25, 18-10, 18-11, 20-21) win over the hosts Germany in the end despite playing without a true center for the whole game.

Robertas Javtokas was not registered for the game due to a minor injury and his back-up Martynas Andriuskevicius didn’t get up from the bench despite being on the roster for the game.

The coaching staff decided to play with a small line-up for most of the game and Paulius Jankunas saw 25 minutes in the center position to collect 11 points, Linas Kleiza played at the four and didn’t disappoint finishing the game with 16 points and 8 rebounds as well as playing very intense defense.

It was the effort of these two players that allowed Lithuania to finally reach a double-digit lead after a 8-3 run in the beginning of the third period.

The gap between the team kept increasing until it reached 17 points after Martynas Pocius finished off a great drive to the basket to make it 63-46. The Germans managed to close the gap but not close enough to give Lithuania a scare during the last minutes.

Mindaugas Lukauskis scored 10 points to provide the support for Kleiza and Jankunas who both took the majority of the scoring duties in the game. Martynas Pocius and Jonas Maciulis both scored 9, Mantas Kalnietis finished the game with 7 points as Martynas Gecevicius had 6 points in addition to the team-high 5 assists.

Jan-Hendrik Jagla scored 16 points for Germany while Lucca Staiger and Tim Olbrecht collected 13 each.
