The United States will definitely attend the Olympics in Paris. That’s great. Tuesday also holds a World Cup quarterfinal match for it. That’s also a plus. The guys in the opposite locker room were the only ones in Manila who partied on Sunday night.
U.S. 104; Lithuania 110; the final score. The winning team opened the game by making an astounding 9 of 9 3-point attempts, setting the tone for the rest of the game. They also outrebounded their opponents, 43-27, and had seven players reach double figures, with two more coming up just one point short.
With 15 points from Vaidas Kariniauskas and 14 from Mindaugas Kuzminskas, Lithuania (5-0) won its second-round group, which is essentially just important for seeding. Tuesday’s quarterfinal matchup pits Lithuania against Serbia while the United States takes against Italy
