The U.S. team has missed 10 free throws and hasn't shot particularly well from the perimeter yet still leads Australia by 12 points at halftime after a buzzer-beating 3-pointer by Deron Williams.
Australia, despite getting a poor performance (only four points and several turnovers and no strong effort under the boards) by its best player, Andrew Bogut of the Milwaukee Bucks, has played pretty well. It could be a lot closer if it hadn't missed a half-doze or so close-in attempts.
LeBron James, Carmelo Anthony, Dwyane Wade and Kobe Bryant are just too dynamic and too dangerous for the rest of the world to cope with.
