LeBron James put on another display of dominance on Monday night, leading the United States to a 92-88 victory over Germany in London, finishing with 20 points, six rebounds and four assists against the current FIBA World Cup champions.
LONDON -- Here is something for everyone in the basketball world to understand as the Olympics, perhaps the most competitive international tournament in history, are about to get started.
With Germany, the current FIBA World Cup champions, trying to send a message by knocking off the Americans just days before the start of the Olympics, James grabbed the game by the horns in the same manner he's done since he was a teenager. Though Joel Embiid was a bright spot as he continues to round into form. He had 15 points, eight rebounds and five assists.Germany has four current NBA players on their roster and are known for their excellent team chemistry, which was on display in their run to the World Cup title last summer. Nearly everyone who steps on the floor can shoot the 3, they move the ball well, are very active with their hands on defense and have terrific size.
The Germans really struggled at times generating clean looks and were shooting more end of shot clock 3-pointers than ones out of their offense. It was the exact type of defensive response the Team USA coaches were hoping for.
