Dwight Howard and Team USA beat Pau Gasol and Spain by 37 points
The USA Men's Basketball Team destroyed Spain 119-82, a 37 point win for the Americans.
Amazing.
No one is a challenge to them.
8 people on the U.S. Team scored in double figures. 1LeBron James had 18 points and 8 assists, 2Dwyane Wade and ! 3Carmelo Anthony each had 16, 4Chris Paul had 14 points and 8 assists {PLUS 5 steals and 5 rebounds}, 5Deron Williams and 6Kobe Bryant both had 11, and 7Tayshaun Prince and 8Dwight Howard had 10 apiece. James commented on the team's play by saying, "Tonight was a great effort by everybody, all 12 guys." You would have to agree with LeBron on that one. It's true.
But, Spain is probably going to be in the World Championship vs. USA, even though they lost by 37. Spain has a really good team. They proved it when they won the 2006 World Championship. They have great guys like 9Pau Gasol, Felipe Reyes, 10Marc Gasol, 11Rudy Fernandez, Ricky Rubio, Jorg! e Garbajosa, Juan Carlos Navarro, and more. Reyes led Spain wi! th 19, P au Gasol had 13, and 4 people tied for 8 points {Alex Mumbru, Fernandez, Marc Gasol, and Ricky Rubio}. Reyes added 8 rebounds, Pau had 2 blocks and 6 rebounds, and Rubio had 3 steals.
