Olympic Basketball: Russia 32, Lithuania 27 (Halftime)

It's halftime and the Russian have led all throughout the first half. Andrei Kirilenko started out like a house on fire and leads Russia with 9points and 9 rebounds. Timofey Mozgov has been effective early on, with 6 points and 4 rebounds.



Lithuania struggled in the first quarter before finally hitting their stride in the second quarter. They went down 10-17 but clawed back to win the second quarter (17-15). Surprisingly, it's former NBA journeyman Darius Songaila who's leading Lithuania with 10 points. Kleiza has been ineffective on offense, shooting 1-5 for 3 points but has grabbed 6 rebounds.

For Lithuania to make this a game, they need to neutralize Kirilenko. Keep him off the boards, keep the ball out of his hands and maybe make Alexey Shved shoot (1-8 FG).
