    Well if you like to know they are gonna recap it, not sure if that means replay it, on ESPN360.
    Kobe played great pressure defense and had some nice passes...
    overall they need to gamble less on D, talk more on switches and rotations.
    half court offense needs improvement, too much one on one. Right now they are relying on transition points.

    James, Bryant on fire as USA basketballers roast Turkey

    6 hours ago

    MACAU (AFP) — LeBron James and Kobe Bryant ran Olympic-sized rings around Turkey as Team USA stepped up their preparations for Beijing with a 114-82 rout on Thursday.

    James, who has already guaranteed the long-awaited Olympic gold, was his team's top-scorer with 20 points as NBA MVP Bryant supplied seven assists in front of 12,000 enthusiastic fans at Cotai Arena.

    Carmelo Anthony weighed in with 17 points, Dwight Howard slammed his way to 14 and Dwyane Wade underlined his recovery from injury problems with 13 points, including a spectacular dunk, in more than 20 minutes on court.

    The 23-year-old James, who also supplied four assists, has emerged as a natural leader of the captain-less team and appears determined to land the title that eluded him four years ago.

    "I've accepted the challenge to become a better leader. I haven't been afraid to lead these guys," he said.

    "A lot of people would be afraid to walk into an arena and play with Kobe Bryant and play with Jason Kidd, Dwyane Wade and Dwight Howard and be afraid to tell them something's wrong or be afraid to lead them, but it's kind of my nature."

    Coach Mike Krzyzewski also hailed James' contribution after his return from a minor ankle sprain.

    "There's no question that one of the biggest things for us is LeBron's leadership, no question about it," the coach said. "He's a natural, outstanding leader and it's showing."

    The NBA superstars started with a bang with James, Anthony and Wade providing the initial fireworks. But Turkey's direct approach paid dividends as they drew a series of fouls to finish the quarter 31-30.

    However, Orlando Magic centre Howard was proving unstoppable and 'King' James lived up to his billing with a trademark flying dunk, assisted by Bryant, as USA pulled away to lead 54-37 before half-time.
    USA!
