Refs are so desperate to keep this close. I can't remember the last the refs carried the home team every game. One game here and there can happen, but when all the refs do the same thing it's a disgrace. Reminds me of handball world championship in qatar a decade ago

France has no idea how to use Wemby. Just awkward force feeds.

The USA struggling to score against a De Colo - Fournier lineup is bizarre.

Glue Ant Edwards to the bench. Curry and LeBron got their rest. Get them back in and close this out

France being smart sticking with the veteran savvy of De Colo over their younger crap guards

Great 3rd quarter by France. USA must step it up in the 4th or they will be in troubles.
