There is no doubt that this was a tough match for Team USA, definitely the toughest exhibition match for the team thus far. Ultimately though, Team USA’s defense was key to their success.
It will be interesting to see how Team USA ends up doing in the actual FIBA tournament. The lead-up to the tournament has definitely been successful thus far, though it is clear that some among the team need some time to adjust to the more physical nature of the FIBA game.
