    Serbia absolutely on fire to start this game. Getting strong contributions from all 5 starters.

    Curry the only member of team USA that showed up for the first quarter.

    The Serbian coaching and execution on the offensive end has been simply superb. Picks, cuts, spacing, player movement and ball movement--just outstanding.

    Yes, Curry has been phenomenal. Lebron and Embiid have been solid. Everyone else is still sleeping.

    On set possessions, the US defense has improved noticeably. But they've been pretty terrible in transition.

    The US offense--outside of Curry--has been basically anemic. 20 points per quarter is not going to get it done. I don't think that they're going to be able to overcome a double-digit 4th-quarter deficit.

    Good offense beats good defense.
    15-30 from 3 so far for Serbia
