    🤣

    Coming into the game, the Americans had been 54-2 in exhibition games since professionals started playing in 1992. Nine years ago, they beat Nigeria by 83 points in the London Olympics. Five years ago, Team USA beat Nigeria by 43 points in an exhibition.

      I just watched the end of that game. Nobody cared. The Nigerians didn't even hi-5 each other at the end, they couldn't have cared less. Just a muck-a-round.

        Reminds me of when the 92 Dream Team lost to a bunch of college kids before the Olympics.

        The Dream Team got them back in the rematch though, apparently smashing them by 100.

          Aussies have one of those two.

          As for the game itself, it had the intensity of a glorified shoot around. Didn’t even match the intensity of one of those playground pick up games that the pros play.

            Aussies had a buzzer beater win (by Patty Mills) against the Argies. Both teams with plenty of NBA players.

              Pressure here on the Bucks to win at home, but also pressure on Phoenix to get the away win and make this nigh-on impossible for Milwaukee.

                Good start for the Bucks. Up 60-45 at HT. Phoenix struggling on the 3 ball. Better perimeter D from the Bucks though. Jrue picking up CP3 full court.

                Middleton far more involved in the offence. When they run a high pick for him, he is making good plays.

                Second unit for Phoenix were a little exposed in a big run by the Bucks.

                                      I think this is a lock now and the series is over. Momentum is too strong, Suns in 4 or 5. Sir Charles will be happy!

                                        This could be destined to go the way of home advantage, which would set up a game 7 in Phoenix

                                          Game 5 in 5 hours. Huge pressure on the Suns to win at home and give themselves a chance to win in six games away in a few days. I don't think there's much pressure on Milwaukee because I feel like they're expected to lose this and then win at home. So it's a bonus game for them, much like a game six at 3-2 in Milwaukee would be for the Suns.
