World Champs 8 Finals: LTU vs CHI & ARG vs BRA
The last night of the 8 Finals was held overnight and whilst everyone expected Luithuania to account for China, Argentina managed to edge Brazil in what was always going to be a tight contest.
- Lithuania defeated China, 78-67
LTU: Kleiza 30, Gecevicius 14, Kalnietis 11
CHI: Liu 21, Yi & Z Wang 11, S Wang 10
Lithuania were just too strong despite a late Chinese burst, winning behind a 14 point last quarter from Kleiza.
- Argentina defeated Brazil, 93-89
ARG: Scola 37, Delfino 20, Jasen 15
BRA: Huertas 32, Barbosa 20, Splitter & Machado 10
Tied up at quarter time, Argentina by 2 at the half, all tied up at 3 quarter time - it was a close game! Brazil had their chances to secure the win but big shots rimmed out and Scola carried his team to the win.
So this is how the quarter final match-ups look:
Serbia vs Spain
Turkey vs Slovenia
USA vs Russia
Lithuania vs Argentina
