USA up 53 - 37 at half
Changed starting lineup - inserted Anthony Edwards and Jayson Tatum for Jrue Holiday and Devin Booker
Edwards had huge 1st quarter!
11 points, 4/4 fgs, 3/3 3’s - all that in under 6 minutes of action to begin game
He and LeBron combined for 1st 4 fgs for USA, 2 3’s by each to start game
LeBron had 8 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists in 13 minutes
2nd unit was Holiday, Haliburton, Booker, Bam Adebayo and Anthony Davis
Embiid’s movements seemed sluggish, usually last man back and he was least impressive player although he did grab 5 rebounds but not much else
3’s
USA 8-19
Australia 2-11
Bench points
USA 20
Australia 9
Durant remains out with calf injury
