Latvia has been eliminated from EuroBasket. After a series of intense group stage games, the team took on Lithuania in a win-or-go-home first round matchup. This one could have gone either way, but Lithuania saw themselves pull away in the second half, clinching their spot in the quarterfinals.

The loss, however, was in no part due to the play of Atlanta's big man. Kristaps Porzingis lit the court up with his dominance on both ends. He played an elite all-around game, scoring 34 points and knocking down 4 threes on solid efficiency. He also added an impressive 19 rebounds and 2 blocks, showcasing his incredible paint presence.
