Linas Kleiza scored 33 points to help Lithuania win its first world basketball championship medal with a 99-88 victory over Serbia on Sunday in the third-place game.
Kleiza, who plays for the Toronto Raptors, scored 12 points during a 22-12 run -- including 15 consecutive points -- that put Lithuania 48-38 ahead heading to halftime.
Kleiza scored 17 points in the first half as he bounced back from a miserable game Saturday in which he missed 10 of 11 field goal attempts in an 89-74 semifinal loss to the United States.
