Jrue Holiday the only non-Tatum non Durant Team USA player to have more than 1 basket with 2 baskets.

Lillard, Booker and LaVine haven't made a basket. And Draymond but that isn't a surprise. Middleton & Bam have 1 basket each.

Not exactly a sign of free flowing team offense. US has 6 assists on 16 made shot attempts. France has 10 assists on 12 made shots.

Have Durant and Tatum just been playing one-on-one?

No the offense has looked okay (minus Lillard) they've just been looking for the hot hand. LaVine and Tatum should be on the floor at all times.

Tatum looks great so far. I hadn't seen that hook shot from him before.

Great first half by Tatum. Durant loves giving him the ball. Durant has been awesome.

There ya go - there's that hard defence again. Soon as the USA will play it, they win games.

Just need to show up to play. WAY more athletic and experienced.

Good, Pop put Tatum back in.

At some point you have to blame the performance on the court on the players on the court. Every loss is not the coach's fault and every win isn't because of the players.

Durant is too strong... Without him I guess US wouldn't be even in final.

Yabu is giving us breath :)

If Gobert could hit free throws this would be quite a game. Unfortunately he is what he is.

Unless France can start getting stops, or hitting more 3's it is going to be tough to come back against Durrant and Tatum

That's nice. Some fastbreak hoops.

That is the way to play in International Ball.
