Lithuania filed a protest to FIBA for the officiating in game lost against Germany after two overtimes, as reported by Basketnews<\/a>.
\nThe game ended 109-107 for Germany who grabbed the third win in three games while Lithuania is still winless in the competition.<\/p>\n

Per Basketnews<\/a>, At the end of the third quarter with just over a minute to go, the head coach of the German national team, Gordon Herbert, received a technical foul but no Lithuanian player was allowed to shoot a free throw for it.
\nJust before the technical, Jonas Valanciunas drew Maodo Lo\u2019s shooting foul. According to FIBA rules, the free throw for the technical foul was supposed to be shot before the two shots for the shooting foul.
\nHowever, only the two free throws for the regular foul were taken, JV missed them both and the Germans rebounded the ball.
\nAt first, three missed free throws were recorded on the official scoresheet of the game. Later, the supposedly missed free throw for the technical foul was deleted.
\n\u201cTheir coach or their bench received a technical and we did not receive that shot,\u201d Lithuanian forward Mindaugas Kuzminskas said after the game. \u201cAfter our coaches started protesting, the commissioner just sat there all red and did nothing.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t know, we should\u2019ve won the game before [the overtime] just like the last two,\u201d Kuzminskas told BasketNews. \u201cIt\u2019s tough. That one shot that we weren\u2019t given cost us in the overtime. There\u2019s nothing you can do now. Maybe we paid too much attention to it.\u201d
\n\u201cThe last time, it was Gobert. Now we don\u2019t get a free throw for a technical foul. If these referees continue their job in the EuroBasket, I don\u2019t even know what to say about FIBA,\u201d Lithuanian guard Marius Grigonis was furious.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
