The United States got killed 95-78 Tuesday by the Italian National Basketball Team.
In 10 days the US team needs to improve to be able to take the gold in the Athens Olympics Basketball Games.
It was an embarrassing loss by the team with all NBA players.

Carmelo Anthony scored a team-high 19 points, and Duncan had 15 points and 10 rebounds.

What really killed the team was the zone defense of the Italians and the poor shooting skills of some of the players. On defense the NBA players let the Italians make 15 !!! 3 pointers. Try defending a shot next time?

To some the Italians seemed like the easiest of the four opponents that the US team will see in preparation for the Olympics.

Next game is Wednesday against Dirk Nowitzki Germany, which beat Italy 85-77 on Sunday.

After that the US will play against world champion Serbia and Turkey
