Disappointed that it's only a Quarter Final as I'd have loved to see these teams in the Final. Both teams play beautiful basketball and there's a reason they're the most efficient and highest scoring in the tournament. Both teams have similar stats, but Lithuania have one advantage and that's battle for the rebounds. Before the tournament I thought that'd be their biggest weakness, but smart boxing out and communication defensively has proved me wrong. Realistically these are very similar teams, but LT squad is a little stronger, the main players have more experience and in the Playoffs that should show. Lithuania played Israel in a friendly and won by 1 point despite it being played in Israel. I think Lithuania are very capable of repeating that today.
