Lithuania Complete Aussie Rout

14.08.2003

Lithuania completed a sweep of their two-game friendly series against Australia with Saulias Stombergas once again leading the charge.

The captain poured in 15 points while 11 players in all got on the scoresheet for Lithuania, who prevailed 88-72.

In a rematch of the bronze medal game at the Olympics three years ago, the hosts capitalised on the early departure of Australian guard Shane Heal due to a sprained ankle.

Sarunas Jasikevicius and Darius Songaila logged significant minutes again for Lithuania, scoring six and seven points respectively in the Wednesday night match.

The two are playing after extended breaks following long domestic campaigns.
Lithuania shot 47% from two-point range, while making 39% (11 of 28) from beyond the three-point arc.

Lithuania won the first game between the two sides in Vilnius on Tuesday, 101-88.
