    PANEVEZYS (EuroBasket 2011) - Juan Carlos Navarro has enjoyed many great nights in a Spain jersey during his career.

    The national team captain had another on Sunday at the EuroBasket in a 91-79 victory over Lithuania in Group A.

    The Barcelona scoring machine erupted for 22 points - 18 in the first half - as Spain blew out the tournament hosts and looked very much like a side that can defend its title.

    Navarro, whose nickname is La Bomba, hit four of his six shots from long range in the first two quarters alone.

    Spain looked nothing like the side that had struggled from long range on the first three days of the EuroBasket.

    They finished 13 of 26 from behind the arc.
