Sunday
New Zealand vs Lithuania, 10:00 a.m. (ET)
The Skinny: New Zealand has the tall task of matching up against a very good Lithuania team, who has one loss (against Australia) during this tournament. It’s a tough task, though, stopping Jonas Valanciunas should be at the head of game plan if the team is going to have any shot at pulling an upset — and don’t expect one.
Players to Watch
New Zealand: Kirk Penney, Thomas Abercrombie, BJ Anthony
Lithuania: Jonas Valanciunas, Donatas Motiejunas, Jonas Maciuis, Renaldas Seibutis
