Gasol, Spain throttle Lithuania 109-59 in men’s basketball (Yahoo Sports)

With little room for error, the Spanish men’s basketball team absolutely throttled Lithuania 109-59 Saturday to keep its medal hopes alive. Spain, which won silver at the last two Olympics, lost two of its first three games and desperately needed a win – and it still might need help from other teams to advance to the quarterfinals. Pau Gasol scored 23 as Spain was near perfect in the third quarter, shooting 12 for 14 from the field, including six 3-pointers.
