Anyone see the game this morning? I missed it. Looks like the US won easily, 119-84.Tatum had a game high 27, 10-16 from the field, 5-10 from 3pt.
I did. Other team came out hard, with energy and made everything. Partway through the first, USA matched the energy defensively, but they kept making everything. Shortly thereafter, USA got hot and their defense started stifling the other team. Dominated 36 minutes of the game.
Booker looked really, really bad. They went after him and as soon as ge went out the energy changed. He looked small, soft on defense, and generally unimpactful on offense. Lillard was terrible too. He played soft offense and jacked too many quick shots early, which led to the other team getting easy looks.
In Olympic bball, everyone, including guards, have to have in mind to physically dominate their counterparts. Booker and Lillard are too soft to do that and satoransky took advantage.
