Tunisia Tried They Only Lost By 47 And Didn't Cover The Spread That Was 55
Yet another slow start for the United States was followed by another dominating second-half performance, resulting in a 110-63 victory for the Americans.
The outcome was never in doubt, but the first quarter was disheartening to watch. Tunisia was firing on all cylinders, moving the ball well and knocking down threes, while the United States was playing lackadaisical defense.
Mike Krzyzewski got fed up with his starting five's lackluster start and subbed in five new players to get the job done—something they succeeded in doing.
The Russell Westbrook-Deron Williams rotation fared much better against Tunisia by playing more tenacious defense and refusing to settle for perimeter shots.
Westbrook and company headed into the locker room with a 13-point lead. By the time the third-quarter buzzer sounded, the lead had been stretched to 38 points and the route was on.
It became a dunk-fest towards the end, with Anthony Davis, Andre Iguodala and others rocking the rim at every opportunity they were afforded.
