TEAM USA SHATTER KIWIS
Vince Carter scored 17 pints as the US men’s basketball team shrugged off a lacklustre performance to beat New Zealand 102-56.
Shooting one of their highest percentages of the Olympics
and asserting their superiority right from the outset, the
American millionaires overwhelmed the weakest opponent in their bracket
after beating Lithuania by just nine points two nights
earlier.
