Lithuania limited Tony Parker to 11 points and defeated three-time champion France 88-73 on Monday to remain one of two unbeaten teams at the European Basketball Championship.
Sarunas Jasikevicius had 14 points and seven assists, and set up Ramunas Siskauskas and Darius Songaila for key baskets.
"They were stronger than us, that's it," said Parker, who was held 14 points below his tournament average.
Also in Group F, Marco Belinelli scored six of his 17 points in overtime to help Italy eliminate Turkey 84-75.
Toronto Raptors center Andrea Bargnani had five of his 12 points in the extra period, as Italy overcame an early 15-point deficit.
"All of the game the team was waiting for Bargnani, and in overtime he showed he knows how to score and Turkey froze," Italy coach Carlo Recalcati said.
Turkey, which cannot advance to the quarter-finals after losing both of its second-round games, was led by 34 points from Hidayet Turkoglu.
Lithuania next plays Slovenia today for top spot in Group F. France, which already beat Germany, plays last-place Turkey in its final game. The winner between Italy and Germany will take the final berth from the group in the quarter-finals.
Jasikevicius hit a key 3-pointer at 8:34 of the fourth period to push Lithuania's lead back to double digits with France threatening.
But with Lithuania denying the ball to Parker, the French looked lost. It forced passes and often was left with poor opportunities as the shot clock expired -- particularly in the final two minutes.
"They played us very well and very aggressive. They pressed Tony Parker well and stopped him from finding his spots," France coach Claude Bergeaud said. "We were not ready to play tonight. We couldn't get into our offense like we did against Germany."
Though Parker played for 30 minutes, the San Antonio Spurs guard said that he never felt comfortable.
"I wanted to shoot more often, believe me, the problem was trying to get them off," he said. "They didn't give me many looks."
In the first half, Lithuania went on a 24-4 run to open up a 20-point lead. But France replied with an 8-0 run to start the third quarter, with Florent Pietrus scoring five straight points.
France soon closed within five, but Jasikevicius set up Simas Jasaitis for a three-point play and then Siskauskas in the lane as Lithuania stretched its lead to 68-56 late in the third.
"You see how difficult it is to win here -- I just hope at the right time we can come through with our form and win," Jasikevicius said. "Whoever makes it to the quarters can beat anyone."
Belinelli made two free throws to push Italy ahead 76-75 against Turkey in overtime before Bargnani's 3-pointer stretched the lead to four points, and he later made two free throws with 1:09 left.
With the score tied 68-68 with 20 seconds in regulation, Turkoglu made two free throws. Massimo Bulleri then evened the score with two more free throws, and Ibrahim Kutluay's last-second 3-point attempt was short.
"We lacked execution. We lacked the big moment, especially when it came to hitting the 3-pointer," Turkey coach Bogdan Tanjevic said.
Like Lithuania, Slovenia won its fifth in as many games, routing Germany 77-47 -- a result that qualified France for the quarter-finals.
Ademola Okulaja's 3-pointer gave Germany its only lead against Slovenia, 3-2, just 1:02 after the opening tip.
Dirk Nowitzki -- who finished with a tournament low 16 points -- was only other German to score in the first period as Slovenia took control 30-9.
A two-handed dunk from 1.88m guard Goran Dragic, playing with a transparent face mask to protect a broken nose, punctuated Slovenia's dominance with 7:24 to play and an untouchable 69-37 lead.
Forward Matjaz Smodis led Slovenia with 22 points.
Defending champion Greece could claim one of the two remaining quarter-final places from Group E yester with a win over Portugal. Croatia can do the same by beating Russia, while Israel plays Spain.
Revelations of positive doping tests for nearly two dozen Chinese swimmers that went unpunished sparked an intense flurry of accusations and legal threats between the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) and the head of the US drug-fighting organization, who has long been one of WADA’s fiercest critics. WADA on Saturday said it was turning to legal counsel to address a statement released by US Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) CEO Travis Tygart, who said WADA and anti-doping authorities in China swept positive tests “under the carpet by failing to fairly and evenly follow the global rules that apply to everyone else in the world.” The
Taiwanese judoka Yang Yung-wei on Saturday won silver in the men’s under-60kg category at the Asian Judo Championships in Hong Kong. Nicknamed the “judo heartthrob” in Taiwan, the Olympic silver-medalist missed out on his first Asian Championships gold when he lost to Japanese judoka Taiki Nakamura in the finals. Yang defeated three opponents on Saturday to reach the final after receiving a bye through the round of 32. He first topped Laotian Soukphaxay Sithisane in the round of 16 with two seoi nage (over-the-shoulder throws), then ousted Indian Vijay Kumar Yadav in the quarter-finals with his signature ude hishigi sankaku gatame (triangular armlock). He
RALLY: It was only the second time the Taiwanese has partnered with Kudermetova, and the match seemed tight until they won seven points in a row to take the last set 10-2 Taiwan’s Chan Hao-ching and Russia’s Veronika Kudermetova on Sunday won the Porsche Tennis Grand Prix women’s doubles final in Stuttgart, Germany. The pair defeated Norway’s Ulrikke Eikeri and Estonia’s Ingrid Neel 4-6, 6-3, 10-2 in a tightly contested match at the WTA 500 tournament. Chan and Kudermetova fell 4-6 in the first set after having their serve broken three times, although they played increasingly well. They fought back in the second set and managed to break their opponents’ serve in the eighth game to triumph 6-3. In the tiebreaker, Chan and Kudermetova took a 3-0 lead before their opponents clawed back two points, but
Taiwanese gymnast Lee Chih-kai failed to secure an Olympic berth in the pommel horse following a second-place finish at the last qualifier in Doha on Friday, a performance that Lee and his coach called “unconvincing.” The Tokyo Olympics silver medalist finished runner-up in the final after scoring 6.6 for degree of difficulty and 8.800 for execution for a combined score of 15.400. That was just 0.100 short of Jordan’s Ahmad Abu Al Soud, who had qualified for the event in Paris before the Apparatus World Cup series in Qatar’s capital. After missing the final rounds in the first two of four qualifier
