The United States basketball team have been pushed to the brink, before coming away with a 99-94 win over Lithuania in their group match.

Lithuania led briefly during the final quarter, before the NBA-laden United States team closed out the game.

LeBron James and Carmelo Anthony both scored 20 points for the victors, while Linas Kleiza scored a game high 25 points for Lithuania.
