USA 57 - 42 Puerto Rico
Halftime

refs has been horrible for both teams.
there was a phanton foul called on Tayshawn Prince on a player who should have never been called for this tournament (Falcon) and there was a non-called Kobe traveling, non-called out of bound by Amare, a called PJ Ramos foul on Amare I think and bla bla bla...

USA is playing almost perfect, but I still think they will have trouble against a team like Greece or Argentina.

Puerto Rico came to play, the strategy was perfect by Manolo, we just had bad luck; Kidd is hitting his outside shot, refs a lil blind-sided (expected, they're playing in Vegas), our guards coming off the bench are to young to understand the concept of slowing down the game and that our big mens are too raw (Ricky and Peter), too small (Angelo) or taking this huge opportunity to make a fool out of themselves (Falcon)

I think Manolo played the bench way too much

there were 3 wrong calls.. we used our whole bench second quarter. i though Arroyo and Ayuso should of came in whrne there was 5 minutes remaining. But i can tell the coach dosen't wanna burn them for Brazil tomorrow. Great game from Ayuso and Arroyo for Puerto Rico same for USA from everyone especially Jason and Kobe.

yes, he played the bench way too much and there is no excuse like "were playing for tomorrow" because we are playing for a ticket to the olympics. So I expect Arroyo and Ayuso to play the rest of the game

and I still expect Manolo to be fired after the tournament

[calle13]

Too late for that USA has been flawless from 3pt range. They are having one of their best offensive games in the tournament. I don't know bout you guys but i'd rather watch other countries play because blowouts are boring. The game was great on the first half.

[JGX]

43 points in the third quarter for the US

[calle13]

Story of the game Puerto Rico only has 2 good weapons Arroyo and Ayuso while US has 12

[J-Mart]

Jason Kidd and Michael Redd really choose a great moment to get their game on

[JGX]

I guess Redd found his shot

Redd: 23 points (8-10 FG, 7 threes)

Williams: 7 assists
