If you were wondering why the U.S.-Brazil game was so close, basically it's
this: 1) Brazil is pretty good and has been for some time, and 2) Carmelo
Anthony hyperextended his knee near the end of the first half. He was
playing beautifully and the U.S. was up 52-38. No one stepped up to his level, and the U.S. ended up winning by
four.
