I didn't know the game was this morning. The USA Olympic basketball site says the game was to start at 6:30 but it seems to just be starting now... so though I might be looking at a replay (on NBCOlympics.com). It's impossible to tell. And it's a raw feed, no play-by-play, no analysis.

It is a replay. I found a boxscore here. In what appears to be a shockingly close game USA wins by 5 points. Lebron and Carmelo had 20 apiece and Linus Kleiza had 25 for the Lithuanians. Chris Paul had 7 points, 8 assists, 7 rebounds, 4 steals and apparently, along with Lebron James was key in the fourth quarter.

Once again it doesn't seem to be on my Dish network box at all, and I have a helluva lot of channels. Thanks NBC. I love synchronous diving and women's men's trampoline. What a joke.

I'm gonna try and find out some more. If any of you have any more info about the game this is the place for it.
