Lithuania defeats Bosnia and Herzegovina 78-73 in FIBA EuroBasket play
Summary

The Lithuanian National Team defeated the Bosnian and Herzegovinian National Team 78-73 on Monday in Vilnius Arena. Despite the loss, Boston Celtics center Luka Garza produced his best performance of the summer with 14 points and 7 rebounds in 17 minutes of play. Garza, who shot 5-of-10 from the field and converted both of his free throw attempts, provided a notable offensive effort for his team. A decisive third quarter from the hosts allowed Lithuania to pull away and secure the victory. The result leaves Bosnia and Herzegovina with a 3-5 record in FIBA competition, making their advancement to the next tournament stage unlikely. The team is scheduled to face the Icelandic National Team on November 26, 2026, a match that will proceed without Garza as he transitions to the 2026-27 NBA regular season with the Celtics.
