Team USA loses to Lithuania, drops first game in FIBA World Cup action

Lithuania shocked the basketball world on Sunday morning as they upset Team USA, 110-104. With the win, Lithuania secured the top seed in Group J of the FIBA World Cup.

Team USA still advances to the quarterfinals, but they’ll now have to beat Italy if they want to continue their World Cup run. It was a poor performance throughout the contest, with Anthony Edwards and Miles Bridges being the few bright spots.

Edwards ended the night with 35 points on 14-26 shooting and Bridges did most of his damage in the second half ending the night with 14 points.
