Team USA tops China

Deron Williams scored 9 in rout

USA 101, China 70. Dominant performance the last 3 quarters, esp. the 3rd quarter. Scary good collection of athletes and perimeter players. Deron had some sick moves, including a pump fake into a reverse layup on the break that wowed the crowd. So neat to see a former Illini in the Olympics. He looked terrific in the open court and halfcourt. Should be starting ahead of Kidd.
