... the ball all the way up the floor himself and made a tough runner while moving away from the basket. No problem with the ankle. No trouble with Turkey, either. James scored 20 points and was a defensive force Thursday night in his exhibition debut, helping the U.S. Olympic basketball team overcome some early sloppy play to beat Turkey 114-82 in its first game in China.
