Les Bleus racked up their 10th win in 12 games, second over Lithuania in the qualifiers. On the other hand, Kestutis Kemzura's squad suffered its third loss (9-3), but managed to put together a competitive performance.

Both teams battled it out without any EuroLeague players on the court, but Victor Wembanyama was enough to compensate for the lack thereof. The top NBA prospect scored 15 points on 5/10 from the field and 5/7 free throws. He also grabbed 3 rebounds and made 3 blocks for a PIR of 15.

Nicolas Lang had 13 points for Vincent Collet's side, while Bodian Massa added 11 on a perfect 5/5 shooting.

Margiris Normantas paved Lithuania with 17 points and 6/10 FGs, whereas Mindaugas Kuzminskas poured in 11. Kestutis Kemzura saw his players turn the ball over 14 times and dish out only 13 assists in return.
