Early this morning, Team USA faced off against Japan in their final game of the first round of the FIBA World Cup in China. After their very close call in overtime against Turkey many questioned how legit of a lock it was for Team USA in this years' tournament. After this game I'm sure those questions will continue to swirl even more.
In their third game out, Team USA looked a lot like Team USA normally does in worldwide basketball competition. They ended up winning the game by a whopping 53 points with a final score of 98-45, and once again the Celtics representatives showed up big despite only half of them playing.
