Knicks EuroBasket Roundup: 9/6/2017: Mindaugas Kuzminkas and Lithuania Win Group B

Today was a small day of EuroKnicking, with Mindaugas Kuzminskas and SummerKnick Louis Labeyrie playing their games simultaneously this morning.

Behind a 27-point performance by Toronto Raptors centre Jonas Valanciunas, Lithuania won their fourth consecutive game by taking care of Germany 89-72 in Tel Aviv, Israel. Meanwhile, France was unable to win its fourth straight, falling 95-78 to Slovenia in Helsinki, Finland.

With their win, Mindaugas Kuzminskas and his Luthianian side finish first in group B. Despite the loss, France will still get a good draw in the knockout rounds, finishing second in the group A standings behind undefeated Slovenia.
