Lithuania was simply better - the message of the head coach of the Montenegrin basketball team, Boško Radović, is clear.
The "Reds" lost in "Morača" 65:56 in a match that the guests controlled from the first to the last minute.
"Lithuania played a solid game. It's hard to beat a rival like that, no matter what team they play in, when you give 56 points. We played good defense, but we had a lot of bad decisions in attack - a lot of shots, a lot of things that we usually don't do. We lacked energy, we wore ourselves out in the Czech Republic, on the way there and back, and obviously we didn't recover to the extent that was needed," said Radović and added:

"I feel sorry for the fans, who created a great atmosphere. We did not make them happy this time and I hope that we will "correct" this in February and that we will have a reason to celebrate," said the Montenegrin coach.
A lack of real energy at both ends of the court and a playful opponent - it was a "combination of problems" for our team.
"Extraordinary defense of the rival, and we were nervous. We are not used to the contact game of the rival - we responded with shots that are not typical of us. Lately, we had discipline in the attack, tonight that was not the case. We shot 25 three-pointers", he pointed out Radovic.
