NEWSSpain coach Domingo Diaz believes justice has been done after his side claimed a bronze medal in the EuroBasket Women with an 83-65 win over Lithuania in the third-place play-off.
It was third time lucky for Diaz's side, who had lost a preparation game to Lithuania last month and who were also beaten by them in the group stage. |

Spain ended the EuroBasket Women on a high by beating Lithuania in Ankara on Sunday to snatch bronze for the third time in a row.
Having suffered a disappointing semi-final defeat to the Czechs, Domingo Diaz's team bounced back for a convincing 83-65 win. |
