Lithuania used a decisive third-quarter run to set up a comfortable 82-63 road win over Great Britain in Cardiff on Wednesday night.
The game was tied 15-15 with 2:32 to go in the first quarter but Lithuania quickly began to pull away, going on a 12-2 run capped by Milda Sauliute's three-pointer to lead 27-17 going into the second period.
Great Britain could do little to close the gap and Lithuania's lead was back at 10, 46-36, at half-time.
The visitors then pressed home their advantage in the third quarter as Sandra Valuzyte's jump-shot sparked at 17-2 run that put Lithuania in firm control.
Valuzyte led Lithuania with 20 points while Daina Staugaitiene added 16 on six of nine (67%) shooting from the field and Diana Razmaite had 11 points. Romania shot 29 of 62 (47%) from the field as a team.
Megan Moody led Great Britain with 16 points while Johannah Leedham had 14 and Sarah McKay 10.
Lithuania improve to 2-1 after their victory over Ukraine at the weekend, but Great Britain remain winless after their opening two games.
