USA vs. Spain Olympic Basketball Quarterfinals Game Thread, August 3, 2021

US simply has too many jump-shooting types; they need a powerful slasher to make Spain pay for their size.

End of first quarter: Spain 21, USA 19.

Ricky Rubio had a great first quarter: 13 points.

It’s a different game basically. They also don’t take it as seriously, obviously. The best players are American. Best in the sport:

1) KD
2) AD
3) Kawhi
4) Curry
5) LeBron
6) Harden

Before you get to your first foreigner Giannis or Luka

Big bodies have an edge in this FIBA rule game.

USA still looking lifeless, ball movement seemingly uncreative on offense

Hernangomez ruling the board.

They're missing the horsepower of Zion, LeBron, and AD.

Mid second quarter: Spain 31, USA 29

Rubio 13 points, has been sitting since late first quarter for some reason.

Kevin Durant 7 pts

USA 38% FG and 3/13 threes

Out-hustled, out-rebounded.

SPain consistently attacking mismatches
