[Breen] LeBron James knocks down
the three to start the game. Rubio, beautiful feed to Gasol. And Spain has the lead. - [whistle blows]
- Jiménez fouled on his way to the basket. That's gonna be LeBron James' second foul. [Doug Collins] That's a critical foul.
Remember, you only get five. So LeBron James picks up two quick fouls. We've talked about how he has been
the catalyst of this team's defense. He's the emotional leader. Mike Krzyzewski rolling dice here
a little bit. He's gonna let
LeBron James play with these two fouls. [whistle blows] Here's Kobe fouling a three-point shooter.
That's his second. So we've already seen
the two leaders from the United States with a couple bad fouls. So not a good start by the United States with their two leaders
on the bench with fouls. Well, first half was disjointed,
uh, because of foul trouble
