    Greece will need a strong second half to save their medal hopes after being dismantled by Spain in the 2nd quarter.

    Patty Mills must be carved out of granite - he just wiped out Lou Dort, who is about twice as wide as him

    Australia is certainly scrappy but Canada just has more talent. Australia seriously short of scorers.

    Looks like he and his twin buddy are sharing a moment of silence for the demise of the Blazers.

    Someone with a bigger screen than mine, help me out. Was there any contact on that tying four-point play? That felt like some major home cooking.

    Wenbenyama with a great off ball spin move to get wide open.

    Seeing 7’4 Wenbenyama on 5’8 Yuki Kawamura is mind boggling.

    Your team is ahead by 4 points with 16 seconds left in the game.

    What is the one thing you cannot allow to happen?

    Foul a 3-point shooter.

    That's exactly what Japan did, with a huge upset theirs for the taking.

    This was after a timeout.

    Japan ended up losing to France in overtime.
