None of Lithuania’s opponents have been easy to beat, yet Argentina is a different team in comparison to Brazil and Nigeria. Campazzo, Delfino, Ginobili, Nocioni and Scola each had double-figures in points; clearly, the Argentines have depth. Manu Ginobili scored 22 points on 5/12 shooting. However, it was Lithuania’s Mindaugas Kuzminskas who led all players in points.
