U.S. wins
The United States shoots 12-for-16 in the fourth period and pulls away behind LeBron James, who excelled while Allen Iverson sat. The United States wins 89-79.
NBC's Jim Lampley, who had suddenly gone gray, says we'll be going back to the Olympic basketball team to "debrief" some of the participants. Sounds like they've been taken hostage and are now released.
The Australians' three-point shooting by quarter: 75 percent in the first, 50 percent in the second, 29 percent in the third and 20 in the fourth. Kinda like the stock market a couple of years ago.
One of the Aussies' young players is the University of Utah's Andrew Bogut. However, by the end of the game, he had legally changed his name to Bogus.
By the way, AT&T wants you to know they're a "proud" partner of the Olympics team. Wondering if they were in negotiations in the third period to strike the word "proud."
