The 31-year-old wing entered the game vs Lithuania  with 1991 national team career points and notched no. 2000 seven minutes into the fourth period after nailing 3/3 from the line.

Belinelli has been playing with the senior squad of Italy for 11 years. He made his debut in the 2006 World Championship and since then, he’s averaged double-figures in every major summer tournament he has participated.

The Atlanta Hawks player comes from a notable 26-point performance a win vs Ukraine, only one point short of his national team career-high (27, in a 105 – 98 loss to Spain in EuroBasket 2015)
