Jokubaitis and Valančiūnas' team

Another match and another proof that this team depends on the play of Rokas Jokubaitis and Jonas Valančiūnas.

R. Jokubaitis scored 21 points, made 12 assists and collected 30 efficiency points in 22 minutes. The point guard demonstrates elite basketball offensively, and with such confidence and enjoyment, R. Jokubaitis is determined to make another splash in the championship.

At that time, J. Valančiūnas only played in the first half, but that was enough for him to have an amazing game – 19 points and 25 points.

By the way, JV nailed three long-range shots, which is his best achievement in official matches with the Lithuanian national team.

It is obvious that as long as the duo of R. Jokubaitis and J. Valančiūnas works flawlessly, the Lithuanian national team will move forward.

Intensity in defense

The Lithuanian national team's defense continues to be very aggressive and tenacious. This time, it was reflected in the numbers - 17 interceptions and only 67 points allowed.

If against Great Britain it could be said that they were simply a lower-level opponent and there was no need to draw premature conclusions, then Montenegro could already offer higher-caliber basketball players like Nikola Vučević and Kyle Allman.
