Greece had an awesome field goal and 2-point percentage. For the most part the teams were evenly matched, but the US teams poor field goal percentage finally caught up with them. The earlier Italy game was really close due to this problem.

Greece:
2-point: 27/38 (71%)
Free throw: 23/33 (70%)
Fouls: 25

USA:
2-point: 24/38 (63%)
Free throw: 20/34 (59%)
Fouls: 26

These FIBA games are like the World Cup. If you don't prepare yourself for the penalty shots you are really hurting yourself. 51 fouls in this game! Good grief!

Bah! Silly statement. Oops. Greece had an awesome field goal and free throw percentage.

Sounds to me like the USA lost.

I wonder why we don't play by international rules with an international key? Every little nuance makes a difference in close games.

Who is coaching the US team?

Looks like they lost this game at the free throw line and nowhere else. 59% is horrible at their level.
