USA vs France - 86-55 Rout

In an exhibition game before leaving the US for the World Championships, Team USA beat France 86-55 to take a 31-point rout to start the journey for another USA pride and glory. This is not the same Team USA that won the gold back in 2008 but is certainly a team to be respected and reckoned with.

The game was held in New York with Chauncey Billups leading the relatively young team to its first momentous albeit non-decisive victory.

“First time I’ve been in the Garden and the people have been cheering for me,” Chauncey Billups(notes) said.

The scoring champ in Kevin Durant hasn't showed up yet but expect it to come out when it matters.

The USA team is literally a fast team with all its young guns. There is only one true center in Tyson Chandler
