We were leading for most of the time against Argentina. With 30 seconds left the score was 87:86 but Ginobili scored two points and Lithuania couldn't find the answer so the game ended 87:88 for Argentina. The game clearly showed that we can win against them even without some of our leaders.
Lithuania 87:88 Argentina
LTU: A.Macijauskas - 19, K.LavrinoviÄius - 14, L.Kleiza - 13.
ARG: A.Nocioni - 24, C.Delfino - 21.
As expected Spain didn't have any trouble against Poland.
Spain 89:57 Poland
ESP: P.Gasol - 15, J.C.Navarro - 13, C.Jimenez - 12, J.Garbajosa - 11.
POL: R.Hyzy - 13, S.Szewczyk - 12, A.Pluta - 11.
Spain will play Argentina for the first place and Lithuania will play vs Poland.

That's a game we've lost by the smallest of margins and I think that's down more to bad luck rather than bad play so maybe in the championships we won't be as unlucky.

Spain were far better than Argentina and only the last minutes' relaxation made Argentina escape with a honourable defeat. Not so important anyway, as these games don't win medals yet. But it's good to see our team looks powerful
Pau Gasol only scored 2 points as he had a minor back injhury and prefered not to play any longer. His brother Marc has made the team in place of Hernandez Sonseca. The rest of the team is the same that played against Argentina
