Team USA dominated the first half with smart team defense that led to better opportunities at the offensive end. Good defense helps you go a long way in winning titles and Coach Pop seems to have instilled that in his team.
You see Team USA wanting to switch, you see France trying to take advantage in the post. Gobert tries to seal deep in the paint vs. Middleton who...just slaps the ball away. The next step for Team USA is *consistently* turning their defense into offense. Good look, doesn't fall. pic.twitter.com/xHjSzgV5lE
