Former Tiger Kleiza leads Lithuania in loss to France

Former Missouri Tiger Linas Kleiza, is certainly doing his part for his native Lithuanian Olympic basketball team. In Thursday’s 82-74 loss to France, the six-year NBA vet played a team high 29 minutes and led his team with 17 points.  Kleiza shot 5 for 11 from the field and hit seven of eight at the free throw line while grabbing a team high seven rebounds as well. Lithuania is 1-2 through pool play and Kleiza leads his team with 50 points and 20 rebounds in the tournament.
