Marco Belinelli drained six of Italy's 17 three-pointers in scoring 26 points in a 78-66 win over Ukraine to move to 2-0 while Ukraine are winless at 0-2.

The last game in Group B in Tel Aviv will see Israel face Lithuania.

In Group C, reigning champions Spain rolled once again by beating Czech Republic 93-56 in Cluj-Napoca, Romania. Pau Gasol collected 26 points and eight rebounds in 20 minutes and Ricky Rubio had 17 points in moving Spain to 2-0 in the group.
