Seth Curry scored 12 to lead the U.S. to a 71-55 win over France in the FIBA under-19 world junior championships.

There's no doubt that the Europeans and others have mastered the balance so critical on offense and that they can shoot the lights out. It's just a lot harder to do when teams are in your grill the way that a Krzyzewski or a Jamie Dixon team gets.
