Down 6 now. Got some serious help from the refs to start the half but USA is heating up.

Epitome of regression to the mean.

Lithuania makes their first 9 threes, many of which were well defended, and then misses their next 7.

I think Lithuania expected the US to come out completely disinterested in the second half, and that didn’t happen at all.

This officiating is suspect.

Lithuania just pulling shots out of their arse.

Maybe it'll force America to care about international basketball again.

That Kuzmingas shot was the epitome of this Lithuanian performance.

Insane shot that goes in 5 percent of the time

Also Austin Reaves doesn’t understand international basketball rules

International basketball caught up a while ago. Can't just send the B team anymore.

He is just making idiotic fouls and thinks he is correct.

The difference between Edwards and Reaves in this game has been huge, and I thought Reaves has been awesome most of this tournament.

The real difference has been the lights out shooting performance from Lithuania that is clearly not sustainable. And it certainly wasn’t mostly easy uncontested threes.

The issue for the US is that they are just so much thinner than some of these teams

I mean we sent dudes like Portis

That's not B at all

Eta: Portis actually made some plays at the basket today but Reaves was pretty much useless all game
