ISTANBUL (AP) -- Lithuania advanced to the semifinals of the basketball world
championship for the first time, hitting nine of its first 11 3-pointers
Thursday to beat Argentina 104-85 and set up a meeting with the United States.
Simas Jasaitis scored 16 points for Lithuania, which had seven players in
double digits.
Carlos Delfino of the Milwaukee Bucks scored 25 for Argentina, which missed its
first 11 3-point attempts.
The defeat means Argentina won't finish in the top four at the worlds, Olympics
or FIBA Americas Championship for the first time since 2000.
