Not that the exhibition game between USA and Lithuania counted for anything, but that was almost ugly. Really, disgustingly, hideously ugly. Team USA overcame a slow start and a terrible case of the shooting shanks to wear down Lithuania and win easily, 77-61. At halftime USA trailed 29-28 and was shooting 28.6% from the field, but a 24-2 run spanning the third and fourth quarters helped put the game away.
