Links: Team USA v. Australia Live Blog
by Lang Whitaker
Welcome to the quarterfinals. I’ll be with you live all morning. Tipoff is looming…
In games earlier this morning, Spain and Lithuania each won, advancing to the next round. No real surprises there, except it means China is out of medal contention.
Starting line ups:
AUS: Bogut, Newley, Bruton, Barton, Barlow
USA: Melo, Dwight, Kobe, Kidd, Bron
Here we go…
FIRST QUARTER
• USA win the tip. Australia starts in man to man and Dwight misses a hook shot.
• Bogut misses a hook shot even worse, then Melo hits a J from the wing. 2-0, USA.
• Nielsen gets an open 3 and misses. USA gets it inside and misses a few tip-ins, before Dwight gets fouled and to the line. Miss, miss. Doug Collins says Team USA is 11th out of 12 teams in free throw shooting.
• Barlow, looking like a Down Under version of Kirilenko, misses a three, and Dwight scores and gets fouled. And one. Good.
• 5-0, USA, two minutes in.
• Nielsen hits an awkward runner and gets fouled. Good. And it’s a 5 to THREE ballgame!
• Not anymore. Melo for two. Team USA is going to the rim every time down.
