EuroBasket 2025 delivered another nail-biter as Lithuania held off Sweden 74–71. It was a game of physical battles, last-minute drama, and some very nervous Lithuanian fans.
Twin Towers Take Charge
Domantas Sabonis (19 points, 9 rebounds) and Jonas Valančiūnas (15 points, 11 boards) showed their strength inside. When Lithuania’s offense went cold, the big men bailed them out with buckets in the paint.
Sweden’s Scare
Sweden gave Lithuania all kinds of problems. Jeffery Taylor and Marcus Eriksson combined for 33 points, keeping the game close until the very end. With seconds left, Sweden even had a chance to tie—but the final three-point attempt rimmed out.
Lithuania Breathes Again
For Lithuania, it was relief more than celebration. The 74–71 win keeps them in the hunt, but it also proved Sweden won’t be anyone’s easy opponent in EuroBasket 2025.
