I feel safe is saying this is the first time this sentence has ever been typed:

That was Linas Kleiza with the impressive baseline drive and reverse slam. Complete with some hanging on the rim.

Kleiza had 22 points to help lead his native Lithuania past Croatia and into the EuroBasket championship game.

Since we’re showing highlights, below you can see fellow Lithuanian Jonas Valanciunas (the Raptors center) with a nice block. Expectations are going up for him after his Summer League and EuroBasket performances.
