Team USA Men's Basketball Dismantles Team China

Team USA Men's Basketball started their Olympic preliminary play yesterday against China. The game was basically over right from the tip off. China only lead the game once which was at the beginning of the game where they were up 2-0. After that, Team USA never looked back. Team USA ended the first half up 59-30 over China.

China really didn't have a chance. They had some decent big man, but there guard play was terrible. Hence, why the game got away from them pretty fast. China did have one bright spot during the game from former NBA pro Yi Jianlian who finished with 25 points and 6 rebounds. Jianlian was the only player that scored double figures for China. Hopefully China plays better during the rest of the Olympics.

Team USA dismantled Team China by beating them 119-62. Kevin Durant finished with 25 points, 6 assists, and 4 rebounds. Demarcus Cousins finished with 17 points, 5 rebounds, and 4 rebounds. Paul George finished with 15 points, 3 rebounds, and 3 assists. Kyrie Irving finished with 12 points, 5 assists, and 2 rebounds. Carmelo Anthony finished with 9 points and 7 rebounds even though he started off the game on fire.  Demar DeRozan finished with just 6 points but had a highlight posterizing dunk. Team USA will resume Olympic play on Monday at 6 PM against Venezuela.
