They played extremely goof defense and held their opponents into just 29% from the field and 12.5% from downtown, while shooting with just 39% and 19.2% themselves. Nestor Colmenares led the team in scoring with a monster double double with 24 points and a game-high 17 rebounds. Miguel Ruiz added 16 points and 9 rebounds.

Michael Carrera leads the team in scoring with 18.8 ppg, adding 7 rebounds per game. Nestor Colmenares adds 13.8 ppg and a team-high 10.2 rebounds per game.

Their most recent matchup have been in a friendly game back in 2016, where Lithuania managed to win easily once again with an 84-53 score. Lithuania had two extremely helpful additions from the NBA, the recently named All-Star Domantas Sabonis and Jonas Valanciunas. Those two take the team’s roster to another level, so expect them to destroy the inferior Venezuela team by more than 25 points today.
