USA went nuts in the 3rd 42-17. Pretty incredible to watch when they are firing on all cylinders and playing D like that. Lebron sparked them and KD finished them off mortal kombat style going 8-10 from 3. Once again awesome from 3... 20-40.

Got home right before halftime. Now that's some dinner theater.

^ This was followed by a classic Westbrook stare down.

^which was followed by a seemingly non existing technical.

^ Yeah, it happens.

Other highlights included a Durant 3-point shot that he took from somewhere in the second row and Anthony getting hit in his little carmelos by Gutierrez.

Had to look at that again on replay to see it, but sure enough...Argentina should be embarrassed, then Westbrook made sure of it!

To be fair...CP3 did it to the Argentine guy first.

^CP3 did do it,and though it could have been intentional, it didn't look like it was in my opinion. The one on Melo was pretty obvious. Could just be my USA bias though. They sure did turn up the heat in the second half. Really impressive win since Argentina is one of the better teams in the world. Loved the Westbrook dunk mentioned earlier. He went hard at the rim.

The stare down technical is the worst technical call in basketball. Where's Clizzy? I need some referee perspective on this.

 

 

When you get dunked on like that you deserve to be stared down.

Im not sure if it was intentional on CP3s part, but Argentina sure thought it was!

FIBA officials are much more strict in that area than NBA officials.

Sure would have been nice to watch the game. I currently despise NBC.

Live by the 3, die by the 3.
