Dan Clark: one of three Great Britain players to hit double figures in Houston

Great Britain's men battled hard before going down 63-61 at the hands of Lithuania in Houston.

Following Friday's 86-80 loss to Nigeria, Britain pushed the world's fifth-ranked team all the way and could even have snatched victory in the last second, but Dan Clark's Hail Mary from halfway bounced out off the rim.

Clark was one of three GB players in double figures with 11 points, Kyle Johnson leading the way with 12 and Joel Freeland scoring 10.

Lithuania's Paulius Jankunas led all scorers with 13 points in a game that saw the two teams level at 37-37 at the break.

Britain actually took a narrow one-point lead into the final quarter, but a low-scoring final period went 10-7 in favour of their opponents.
