82-38 - ouch.
ESPN's Chris Hansen has an in-depth analysis of the win and some of the players behind it, including what may lie in wait for the USA team:
The shocker and perhaps biggest threat to the USA and their pursuit of gold is the Chinese 92-75 win over Australia, a team that defeated the U.S. team in exhibition play earlier this month. The Chinese team shot 39 3-pointers against the Aussies, converting on 14 for 46 percent of their scoring.
Defending the 3-point line has not been a strong suit for the U.S., allowing 31 attempts to Russia and 24 to France. But before the Chinese long-range bombardment, Team USA needs to take care of their remaining pool play games against Canada, Turkey and Japan.
