Olympic Basketball: Russia 83, Lithuania 74

In the end, there was just too much Kirilenko.

Andrei Kirilenko wreaked havoc from opening tip to final buzer, scoring 19 points, grabbing 13 rebounds, dishing out 3 assists, blocking 3 shots, getting 3 steals with just 1 turnover in his most dominant performance yet. Timofey Mozgov was the surprise of the match, scoring 17 points and grabbing 4 rebounds.

Lithuania was led, surprisingly, by Rimantas Kaukenas, who scored 19 points and Darius Songaila, who had 15points. Having a bad offensive night was Linas Kleiza, who scored just 4 points on 1-7 FG.

Russia advances against the winner of the Spain-France match.
