This is quite the landmark game. Not for Team USA they were bang average last night. It was a landmark game for the DefPen Sports family, especially for one of us. Big up Mr David Morrow who was at Chicago representing the family last night.

It’s just unfortunate that the game he covered wasn’t exactly the best performance by Team USA. Just looking at the final score, 80-45 suggests that it was more like an NCAA blowout instead of a pre-Olympic tune up.
If you asked me to give a player of the game I honestly couldn’t give you one. Individually all players weren’t on point. Only Kyrie Irving and Klay Thompson were double digit in points and as a team they only mustered up 42.4% in field goal percentage. But of course it wouldn’t be a Team USA game without an alley-oop.

Nevertheless, the US won, they are 3-0 in pre-Olympic play and somehow they found a reason to dance after the game. I’m sure that coach Mike Krzyzewski really loved seeing that hours after a bang average game as a team days before they start their campaign in Rio Di Janiero. Be sure to follow @NBAOnDefPen & @DefPenSports for thorough coverage of Team USA’s Olympic campaign. Hopefully they don’t play like they did last night.
