USA Wins A Laugher Over Germany, Will Face Aussies In Quarterfinals
The 2008 U.S. Men’s Olympic Team (5-0) compiled 40 minutes of total domination in its final preliminary round game against Germany (1-4), recording its largest margin of victory yet with a 106-59 win Monday night at Wukesong Arena in Beijing, China.
Less than seven minutes into the first quarter, the USA had taken a 20-3 lead, which only continued to grow with each quarter. The USA improved a 19-point advantage at the end of the first quarter to a 24-point lead at halftime, a 37-point lead after three periods and was up by 49 points as the final buzzer sounded.
Everybody scored for the USA, led by 22 points from Dwight Howard, 18 points from LeBron James, 13 points form Kobe Bryant and 10 points from Chris Paul and Dwyane Wade.
When The Underdog Wins.... 
They are playing well as expected. They are on a mission. It may not be the dream team but it is certainly better than the nightmare team from the last olympics.
No complacency. Just business. Lets hope they can keep it going.
