Kevin Durant leads the US into the Finals.
by Matt Lawyue / @mlawyue
For Team USA, standing between them and a slot in the Final’s tomorrow night is undefeated Lithuania. To break down Lietuva, led by Linas Kleiza, they’re a balanced team on offense that has shooters at every position. If they get hot it will be tough for Coach K’s squad, who struggled against Russia’s first quarter three pointers and zone defense. The American’s defensive intensity will have to be on lock all night to disrupt LIT’s half court offense. If Team USA can make this into a full court sprint, they should be able to dispense of the Baltic nation.
ESPN Classic will air this game live at 12 PM EST. ESPN 3 will carry it online.

I think KD has gotten the new team USA points record. At such a young age ! And he seems to be one of the rare polite and clever US players (with Rose, Curry, Chandler, Love).
Andre Iguodala (USA forward following his defensive effort on Linas Kleiza): “In the NBA they don’t allow hand checking, so you can’t stop guys. Here they let you play a little bit more defense. There’s great ball players all over the world, and you just try to slow them down.”

- as fantastic as Euroleague MVP Teodosic was In the 1st 3 quarters (9 assists till then), controlling game tempo, staying cool under extreme pressure, he was the main reason Turkey got back into the game mid 4th qtr. Tunceri (faaantastic player imo) scored 5 straight on Milos, and Teodosic forced 4 three’s in that quarter that all missed badly (including 2 where he tried to act as if he’d been shot, Reggie Miller style).
