Phil Handy before the game pumped up the USA team stating that their play has to have the 'Memba Mentality'

Rui Hachimura making the most of alley-hoop passes and creating so impressive dunks

After the first quarter World on 9 point lead after the first 30-39, Rui Hachimura making the most of alley-oop passes and creating so impressive dunks

In Quarter 2 Zion Williamson showed us his talents with some very impressive dunks from alley-oop passes to standing dunks also serving well as the decoy pass on multiple plays.

One of the plays of the game assists Morant with an alley-oop pass to Williamson under and through his legs.

The 2nd quarter finished with an excellent half-court shot from Doncic

The USA team must have had a good talking to from head coach Phil Handy as they came out firing on all cylinders. They scored 20 more points than the world team in quarter 3 and that's when they broke free. The momentum continued into the 4th and they were unstoppable. The game finished with Williamson attempting some impressive dunk but was unable to make them stick.
