Great Britain were beaten by Russia 76-54 in their fourth warm-up game at their training camp in Texas, their fourth defeat in a row.

Centre Joel Freeland put in another good personal performance, scoring a game-high 18 points, grabbing five rebounds and four assists.

Britain forward Dan Clark added 10 points in Houston.

"We had a great first half. I think we just lost our legs in the second half," Freeland told BBC Sport.

"I think that's down to a bit of fatigue, early days in the training camp. I think, going on, we're going to get a lot better.''

Russia are former European champions and ranked 11th in the world but it was GB who started start strongly, with Freeland and Clark combining for 13 points as they took a three-point lead.

The first half was very tough and I think it shows the potential of the Great Britain team. They can play basketball, good quality basketball

Russia, playing all their stars, had a poor first half. Former NBA star Andrei Kirilenko's shooting was off target as he threw up two airballs, and the rest of his side struggled to find their rhythm.

GB's shooting was also poor but, after the second quarter which Russia won 12-11, GB still led by two points - 28-26.
