The Americans committed 18 turnovers — astounding in a 40-minute game — and allowed 13 offensive rebounds. “We understand time is not on our side,” said Devin Booker, who scored 16 points off the bench Monday after getting the start against Canada. “We have to clean things up quickly, and playing like we did in the second half today … we will not win a gold medal.”

Move to the bench helped Devin Booker out. Second unit has been Team USA’s best asset
Still need to see Kevin Durant with starters, if he gets healthy – 2:10 PM

Team USA up 76-61 thru 3 quarters. Kerr started the bench unit in the 3Q and they built a 24-point lead at one point, but a turnover-heavy stretch once the starters checked in opened the door back up. Devin Booker has 10 points on 3-of-5 shooting, team-high +14 in 11 minutes – 1:35 PM

Booker up to 10 points after a couple buckets in the 3rd have blown this game open. Another really solid outing for him, which is all this team needs. – 1:14 PM
