Lithuania established a 9-point lead with just over two minutes played and basically never looked back, routing Senegal 101-47 in Group H play with seven players scoring in double figures.
For Senegal, their first two possessions on both ends of the floor (a turnover, followed by a foul, followed by another turnover, followed by another foul) proved to be somewhat of a microcosm of their game at-large. Struggling to turn defense into offense and instead settling for contested jump shots, the Senegalese were unable to consistently leverage their length and athleticism into easy points, a non-start which proved disastrous on a day when they shot 1-of-23 from three.
