A game between Lithuania and Russia is always special and this time Lietuva exposed the problems of team Russia by getting the 82-51 win. Toronto’s Jonas Valanciunas was the best player of the game with 17 points and 8 rebounds. He also had some tense moments against veteran Russian center Aleksey Savrasenko (photo).
