USA Dominates Australia to Advance

USA Puts Australia Down Under 40-point Rout
Now that’s the kind of win we need. Since we’re into the “important” games, the U.S. team really needed to focus… and they did, to the tune of a run-a-way victory. Because a single loss would likely lose the gold, every game is critical for the favorites and it looks like the team understands it.

Next up is Germany and Dirk Nowitzki, who only won their game by a single point, against Nigeria. This shouldn’t be the game where the wheels fall off the bus, but the players should never forget what happened in 2002. That time out the American’s finished 6th—the worst International performance by an American basketball team ever.
