Tony is playing a big part in crucial possessions. Two minutes to go in the game. Barn burner

Showing USA over Serbia 80-78. Tony with 9 boards. Final?

greenminer · July 1, 2011

over. USA 80 Serbia 78.

Mitchell Game 2: Near double-double and some clutch play.

11 pts 9 rebounds, with 2 blcks and an assist. I'm very pleased to see his FGs @ 80%.

You can see this on the play-by-play provided in the above link, but here goes:

2:25 left and USA down 3, Mitchell draws the foul, sinks both. Serbia answers with a 1-for-2 conversion on the other end, stretching their lead back to 2. On the miss, Tony grabs DEF rebound and proceeds to dish out the assist on the other end that gets USA a tie. Tim Hardaway Jr was then put on the floor and seals the deal.

EDIT: all that in 16:31 minutes of play. Pretty dang efficient by the looks of it.

11 pts 9 boards in 16:31? Nice!

greenminer · July 1, 2011

On a team level, note that USA was 1-13 from 3. We were saved by the second-chance points differential 14-4.

Another very impressive outing for Tony! He appears to be a monster on the boards.

On another note, who does Joe Jackson play for? That kid can score!

CMJ · July 1, 2011

Jackson plays for Memphis I believe. Great game by Tony, and nice comeback win for Team USA.

Coach gives Tony his due at 1:03

Tony is easily improving form game to game and I would expect that he gets 20+ minutes of Game Time next round. You are making the Mean Green Nation really happy Tony! GMG and GUSA! (that's right....I abbreviated Go USA)
