Erstwhile unbeaten USA-slayer Lithuania misses the final four bus in the FIBA World Cup, while the Americans bounce back by crashing Italy to book a return trip to the semifinals

100-63“Sometimes, you got to be humble in everything you do. I think they kind of got too high, saw them wearing hats, USA hats, and things like that,” said Portis.

“It can either make you mad or it can be a motivation for you to go out there to play with a little more pride, little more passion. I think our guys responded well, going out there and fighting for the name in front of the jersey.” Mikal Bridges showed the way for the Americans with 24 points, 7 rebounds, and 2 steals, Tyrese Haliburton churned out 18 points, 5 assists, 4 rebounds, and 3 steals, while Austin Reaves chimed in 12 points.“In the NBA, you can walk into a game, pace yourself, and then turn the tempo up. Here, you got to stomp on them from the jump and get it going. I’m proud of the team, how we responded from the loss,” Portis said.
