US Olympic Basketball Team Squeaks By Australia
In preparation for the Olympics in China, the US Basketball team got a scare from the Australian team. Australia, who was resting their top player, lost by 11 points in a game that could have easily been won by the Australians.
The US did manage to win the game 87-76, but they played like it didn’t matter (and it didn’t really). Dwayne Wade said that they were playing “lazy” basketball. My guess is that they are tired of the exhibition games and just want to start the “real” olympic games.
Anyway, if you missed last night’s game here are some video highlights I found on youtube:
