Team USA crushes Senegal, 103-58

Thursday the NBA's finest made easy work of Senegal, in route to a big victory. They set their next sights on Italy. The top scorer for the team was Chris Bosh, who finished with 20 points. Dwayne Wade sat out while Lebron James (17 points) and Carmelo Anthony (12 points) played limited minutes. The younger guys off the bench like Hinrich and Johnson got extra playing time. Coach K has got these guys playing inspired basketball. This doesn't mean their test is over.

Up next on the schedule is Australia on August 27. Right now Team USA is finishing up play in Japan. Earlier this month they beat Yao Ming and China 121-90. They've got to be feeling good about themselves, being 5-0 and all. On any given night any player on the starting five could be the top scorer. They've got so many offensive weapons and their defense is good all-around for the most part. The real competition for the U.S. are Spain, Greece, and Argentina. They're all undefeated in World play. Keep going strong U.S.A.!
