Team USA almost doubled-up the score against the Canadian Olympic team, as the Americans emphasized team defense and shot 65.7% from the field . July 26, ESPN: LAS VEGAS -- Mike Krzyzewski wanted Dwyane Wade on the U.S. team, just in case something ever happened to Kobe Bryant or LeBron James. With James out Friday night, Wade proved he is definitely back. Wade stepped into the starting lineup and scored 20 points in his first action in more than four months, and the United States beat Canada 120-65 in the opener of its exhibition schedule.

U-S-A! U-S-A! U-S-A? Team Nike USA didn't come for a Canadian Debate. They came to squash their over matched opponent, and they did. What does that mean?
