USA vs. China (Game 3)

Game Time: 4:30pm
Final Score: USA 81- China 40

What a win??!!! Today was a great day for us. We were on fire in the first half. We scored 51 points in the first half and gave up 17 points. We were clicking really well. We shot about 52% and had a number of forced turnovers and steals.

I had a good game, but had to ice down at the half. My shoulder has been holding up, so as a preventative measure we decided to sit me in the second half and ice me down. Unfortunately, I spent most of the second half lying face down behind the bench, so I didn't even see it. Although from what I heard it was still a strong half.

Everyone played and contributed again...in fact at one point we only had 8.5 points on the floor (2- 1s, 2- 1.5s, and a 3.5).

Anyway, it was a good day for us and we definitely improved. We have tomorrow morning off and practice tomorrow night, as we get ready to face Germany on Monday.

My mom got here today and I was so excited to see her. My dad gets here tomorrow and my brothers on Monday...it's going to be great to have them here. I might take my mom shopping tomorrow, but we shall see...I need to rest my shoulders and let my body rest.

Well...it's really late here. It took me all day to get our terrible internet connection to work. Hope all is well at home!
