After playing like crap and barely even being able to stay on the floor due to foul trouble for the first 3 games of the qualifying tournament, Valanciunas had a very good game tonight in an absolute domination of the Dominican Republic (Lithuania won 109-83). Finished up with 17 points and 7 rebounds on 6/9 shooting and 5/6 from the line in 25 minutes. He did manage to pick up 5 fouls, though, so that continues to be an issue for him. More impressive was his defense on Al Horford. Horford finished with 12 points and 4 rebounds on 4/13 shooting. It wasn't all Valanciunas, and I'm not trying to say it was, but when I saw him on Horford, he was playing excellent defense. With the win Lithuania qualified for the Olympics.
