TAMPERE (Finland) – Lithuania couldn’t have started FIBA EuroBasket 2025 on a better note, finding their first win in the competition by beating Great Britain by 24 points (94-70<\/a>) in Tampere, and setting a single-game record.<\/p>\n

The whole team put up a collective rebounding masterpiece, breaking the record – since 1995 when data was first recorded – for most rebounds grabbed in a single FIBA EuroBasket game at 57.<\/p>\n
