USA defeats Uruguay 118-79.

Lebron James had an explosive first half scoring 27 points. Mike Krzyzewski then decided to sit his starters in the second half. What can you expect after taking a 30 point lead into half. I presume he wanted to rest them for the big game against Argentina tomorrow. USA was also without their top scorer, Carmelo Anthony, who sat out with a bruised knee.

Argentina should prove to be a difficult test for the USA players. However, if the USA players lose, it will say a lot about their chances in Beijing during the Olympics. Argentina is without their star player, Manu Ginobili.
