Lithuania protests double-OT loss to Germany at EuroBasket after free throw not awarded on technical foul

COLOGNE, Germany -- Lithuania protested its double-overtime loss to Germany at the EuroBasket tournament on Sunday, arguing that referees did not award it a free throw following a technical foul in regulation.

It was not immediately clear how, or if, FIBA would respond to the protest.

For now, it's a German win -- and a huge one for the hosts. Franz Wagner scored 32 points, Dennis Schroder added 25 and Germany held off Lithuania 109-107 in a game that was tight throughout, with neither team ever leading by more than nine points.

"We are not happy," Lithuania coach Kazys Maksvytis said.
