The US didn't start out so great. In what ended up being a laugher, the US played poorly in a first quarter that included a horrid 29% field-goal percentage and only led by one point. Tony Parker penetrated and scored at will.
In the second quarter, though, things took a quick turn back to what was expected. With Parker on the bench the US jumped out with an 11-0 run to start the quarter. They never looked back.
The US used their exhausting pressure defense to stifle France's offense. By half-time they had already generated six steals and caused 11 French turnovers.
In the second half, the US continued its momentum from the second quarter. They built their highest lead of the game, at the time, a 27 point advantage during the third quarter.
