MANILA, Philippines — The most notable detail of Team USA's 110-62 victory Wednesday over Jordan was how the Americans started, because the crowd of 10,511 at Mall of Asia Arena all understood how this one would finish. After deploying the same five-man lineup for each of the first two games during this FIBA World Cup opening round, and dating back to Team USA's second intrasquad scrimmage in Las Vegas, head coach Steve Kerr made a change, inserting forward Josh Hart into the frontcourt next to center Jaren Jackson Jr. in place of swingman Brandon Ingram.
MANILA, PHILIPPINES - AUGUST 30: Josh Hart #12 of USA vies for the ball against Ahmad Dwairi #44 of Jordan during the FIBA Basketball World Cup Group C game between United States and Jordan at Mall of Asia Arena on August 30, 2023 in Pasay, Metro Manila, Philippines. MANILA, Philippines — The most notable detail of Team USA’s 110-62 victory Wednesday over Jordan was how the Americans started, because the crowd of 10,511 at Mall of Asia Arena all understood how this one would finish.
“You just don’t lose it,” Bridges said. “Playing with JB all those years and Josh as well, it’s just second nature. All those practices and games we had at ’Nova, it just feels so natural.” For all the pregame festivities and in-arena theatrics, there was a notable lull amid the audience for much of the lopsided affair. Jordan’s offensive possessions brought near silence trip after trip down the floor, aside from when Hollis-Jefferson touched the ball and the crowd burst into chants of “Kobe! Kobe!” in recognition of the Chester, Pennsylvania, native’s resemblance to the great Kobe Bryant.
Kerr signaled for timeout with 3:24 to play in the third, emptying his bench and getting sparsely used 12th man Walker Kessler into action quite early. The Americans would lead 87-49 after the quarter ended, with 10 more minutes still left to play. And with their final tally north of the century mark, Team USA posted back-to-back 100-plus-point games at a World Cup for the first time since 2006.
