Lithuania extended the British losing streak at the European Championships, which now stands at 11.

The second test for the Lithuanians awaits on Friday, when R. Kurtinaitis's team will face the Montenegrins, and now the portal Delfi invites you to review what we saw during the team's first test.

Record-breaking dominance

The Great Britain team was without their main towering player Gabe Olaseni, and the Lithuanian team's towers immediately took advantage of this.

The word"overwhelming" was perhaps used too mildly. The Lithuanian national team recovered 57 balls in the first match of Group B, which is a new all-time European Championship record.

The previous record was 54 catches, set by two teams: Croatia (2013) and Russia (1995).

Rebound statistics have been calculated in the European Championship since 1995.

The British rebounded fewer balls throughout the match than the Lithuanians caught them on defense (31 vs. 33).

The Lithuanian team's dominance under the basket was marked by as many as 62 points from the penalty spot, and 14 points were scored on second chances.
