While Lithuania was on the field, the Knicks scored 13 points more than the rivals (the best result of the team), and the only triple that missed was a shot from their side of the field with the siren of the first half.
For Jokokaitis, this was the last match in which he was allowed to participate according to Barcelona’s plans. He missed four games in the Summer League instead of the three scheduled, but he did not get off the bench against the Toronto Raptors. Now he will have to go to Spain, where Catalan preparations for the season will begin on August 17.
