[MVP]

Lithuania storming back, only 3 pt game with 8 min left. Win for both teams could be crucial in next group as they both will advance to face France and Dominican Rep.

Close game so far

27 pt lead for USA in the 2nd quarter.

Welp.

This is what USA should do though, push tempo, focus on defense and run out.

Czech Republic beat Turkey, so Turkey isn't advancing.

 

[MVP]

Patty Mills with another late game heroics for Aussies. Aussies wasted 15pts lead and then came back after Lithuania got in front by 3 in 4th quarter. At the end Mills just took over with his scoring.

Didn’t we blow Czech Republic out?

Good game Aussies. Lithuania will need to beat France and Dominican Rep to advance to playoffs. Honestly I think France is way better opponent for Lithuania than Australia.

Didn’t we blow Czech Republic out?

By 20 or 21 pts.

Damn, only beating Japan by 53?! This team is in serious trouble.
