Yao Ming opened the scoring with a three pointer and China kept the game close in the first half but Team USA relied on defensive pressure, depth and athleticism to prevail 101-70 in an Olympic preliminary round contest that is widely being termed the most watched basketball game ever. Dwyane Wade (19 points), LeBron James (18 points) and Kobe Bryant (13 points) led the charge for Team USA.

Team USA should be considered the clear-cut favorite for the gold until something changes, but this win isn’t anything to get too excited about.
It sure was a hell of a lot of fun to watch though.
