Zalgiris started the game well and took an unexpected lead at 5-0 but was soon hit back with nine straight points by the Lithuanian national team. This run was soon followed by long-range shots from Paulius Jankunas and Tomas Delininkaitis who made the gap even more obvious at 25-13.
The Lithuanian national team continued its great performance as Martynas Gecevicius’ three-pointer made the game a blow-out – the scoreboard was showing 44-24.
Linas Kleiza scored his first points only midway through the third period to finish off a 15-5 run as the lead reached 30 points (59-29). There were no questions about who was going to come out victorious after the final buzzer.
A trip to Izmir awaits Team Lithuania as they’re going to play their first group game against New Zealand already after four days counting from today.
