Team USA
- 156 points record ........Is that combined points or individual? - • Carmelo Anthony sets USA scoring record at 37 points.
- USA sets Olympics record for most points scored in a game.
- Team sets a USA record by making 29 three-point shots.
At least they tried.....
Carmelo Anthony , Lebron James and Kobe Bryant laughing....
An irresistible force met with a very moveable object yesterday and the result was a record-breaking scoring spree for the US men's basketball team over a hapless Nigeria at the Olympic Basketball Arena.
The defending champions rolled to a 156-73 victory, scoring the most points ever in an Olympic game on a mind-boggling shooting night spearheaded by Carmelo Anthony.
Ayodele Bakare could only shake his head in disbelief at the U.S. performance. "They shot an unbelievable percentage. I felt we could have played better defensively," he lamented.
......uum There's no defense that would have stopped the USA today. Quite honestly.
Nigerian forward Koko Archibong said it was quite an experience being part of the game."On the one side, it's terrible to get whupped like that," he said. "But on the other side it was something impressive to see, to be a part of, to witness in person."
So far is the highest scoring game in Olympics history, most points by a USA player in Olympics history (Carmelo Anthony), biggest margin of victory for a USA team with 83 points and the most threes made (29) in US Olympics history.
Check it out some comments during and after the game....sad and cracking @the same time
The US just obliterated Nigeria-83-point margin of victory!! ......what a thunder play,It would have been something maybe if Team USA forfeits for some reason.
I feel bad for Nigeria having to be on the other end of that, but that was just an impossible task.!!
for sure that was a humiliation,I couldnt watch much longer!
